Spare change adds up to aid Third World children BRUCEFIELD - Kathy Lavis is convinced that spare change can add up in a big way. Lavis is student council president at Huron Centennial School. After hearing about the need for "bed kits" for children in many Third World countries, she realized she had found a fundraising pro- ject for her school. Students were asked to bring in one "loonie" each to add to the fund. Lavis says that since there are about 400 students at Huron Centennial, a $400 goal seemed appropriate. The student council president said she was surprised when more than twice that amount came in. A school dance held January 29 raised another $300 by asking stu- dents to bring spare pennies to the dance. The idea was that one pop bottle filled with pennies would equal the cost of one more bed kit. The student council and school secretary had a "rolling Darty" to wrap up the 600 rolls of pennies that came in. Last Wednesday, Lavis presented the outcome of the school's ef- forts to a representative from Sleeping Children Around the World: a cheque for $1,120. And the school were also told that an anonymous donor has agreed to match the school's efforts' so that a total of 80 bed kits can be bought for third world children. The bed kits are all made in the country in which they are to be used. They often include pyjamas, a mattress, blankets, a pillow, slippers, a toothbrush or mosquito netting, depending on the needs of the children in that country. Eighty of these will be made up through the efforts of the Huron Centennial students and the anonymous donor - proving that spare change can add up. Thames Road by Rhoda Rohde THAMES ROAD - Rev.
