Summer 2010 Book & Bake Sale
The NWDSA Youth Board organized a book and bake sale on June 26th to raise money for the children at Sriarunodayam, a home in India for children with disabilities who have been abandoned by their families.
Advocates from the Youth Board interviewed a representative for the home who mentioned a great need for training materials for his staff. The money raised through the sale goes toward the purchase of best-practices resources such as the DownsEd Trust series on raising children with Down syndrome and other resources.
The kids raised about $600.00 and a local family has offered to match the funds raised at the book sale.
