Eagle Scout Helps ImpactAVillage

ImpactAVillage was proud to support Alex Bru from San Ramon, CA as he earned his Eagle Scout. Alex selected ImpactAVillage as the beneficiary organization for his Eagle Scout service project. He invited Deng Jongkuch to speak at California High School for a show he produced to build awareness about the harrowing journey of the Lost Boys of Sudan. Alex helped raised over $1000 in donations for ImpactAVillage.

Letter Campaign

Makena Taylor, an 11 year old from Trinity School in Menlo Park, California was inspired by Deng’s story when he spoke at her school in March, 2014. Makena was so moved to help that she wrote letters to her family and friends asking for donations to ImpactAVillage to support education projects for communities in need. She hoped to raise $1000, but she collected over $5000 in donations from 50 people. Wow! Congratulations Makena!

Lemonade Stand

8-year old twins Gabriel and Tandara France raised $120 for ImpactAVillage by selling fresh squeezed lemonade. Their funds helped support the Malek Primary School in South Sudan and also helped them earn their way into We Day-California in March 2014.
