[BHS Etree] STUDENT ACTIVITIES: Pakistan Flood Relief Campaign Update

[BHS etree]

 <mailto:cyoung at berkeleyhigh.us> Dear BHS Community Members,

In a matter of two days, nearly $1500 has been donated to help the millions
in Pakistan who remain in dire need of assistance in the aftermath of the
flooding that covered an area the size of Italy through this monsoon season
and affected more people than the Haiti, Pakistan, Kashmir earthquakes and
Indian Ocean tsunami combined.

$1155.15 was collected today from students in classes.  With only one day of
publicity this sum is mind-blowingly impressive.  The generosity of BHS
students and families is unique.  I have not seen young people so
consistently ready to give working in some other communities.

Whether it's a blood drive, a service event, Holiday Meal (coming soon on
December 11!) or a relief campaign BHS students are demonstrating inspiring
levels of altruism.  Indeed, you could see tears of joy developing in the
eyes of a few of our Pakistani students who have been working on the
campaign.  

So thank you for your support.  If you'd still like to donate towards
American Refugee Committee's efforts to bring relief to the people of
Pakistan please do so at http://www.firstgiving.com/bhsforpakistan or write
a check to the "BHS Global Relief Fund" and submit it to the Leadership
Office.  Gifts from Peets coffee will be given to those who donate $20 or
more, but of course any donation helps.


Sincerely,
Chris Young
