Restaurant
employee Rose
Koskamp hails
from the village of
Bongo. Koskamp
who has lived in
Canada for the past
21 years appreci-
ates the selfless-
ness shown by
Jessica.
Koskamp knows
how important
education is to the
life of any child
and for anyone to
give that opportu-
nity
to the children
of the village
where she's from,
is special.
"I feel very
lucky to have
someone ' like
Jessica . that will
give up her birth-
day to kids that
would never be
able -to afford ` an
education,” said
Koskamp. "Jessica
is doing a very

For Koskamp,
one of the greatest
thing this type of
donation does is, it
goes directly to the
school. All $500 of
it will go directly
to buying supplies
for the school mid
won't go into any
miscellaneous
costs.
"The best part of
this is, is the
money she is send-
ing, every nickel is
going directly to
help the kids and
the school," said
Koskamp.
"There's no admin-
istration fees,
everything is going
to ` school."
Jec.ca would
also -like to visit
Bongo when she
gets older so she
can see the people
there and how the
school is doing.
Jessica is no
stranger to giving
her birthday
money to worthy
causes as last year
she and her friends
helped donate
$260 to the Ontario
