George Elementary School students donate $ 2,439 to Books For Africa

Elementary School Children Donate $2,439 to Books For Africa as Net Proceeds From Pickle Sales—Meet the newest members of the Books For Africa Kilimanjaro Society! Kindergarten students at George Elementary School in Arkansas sold pickles for 50 cents apiece in their school to raise funds to ship books to Africa. The students also coordinated the shipment of a truckload of textbooks from Arkansas to Minnesota for shipment to Africa. The students were inspired by their teacher, Karen Wiggins, who is traveling to do mission work in Tanzania, East Africa. Books For Africa thanks the students of George Elementary School for their dedication to helping children in Africa to learn.
