Today we did our grade five fundraising project, Jump-A-Thon, for Tabitha. The best thing about today was that we could do any kind of Jump roping as in by yourself, helicopter, and double dutch. This was because we could all do it together and jump and having many options. As a grade, we hope to raise $20,000 this year.                                                           

Today, Janne Ritske will be visiting us to discuss her foundation, Tabitha.  We will be doing the Jump-a-thon on   Tuesday, 21 January   to raise funds for this worthy cause.      I learned that all they want to do is make dreams happen. A year when they graduated 25,446 families with 203,568 dependents. What this means to me is that when they are making there dreams come true the Cambodian's seem to really think they care about them and acknowledge them. Each new water well changes the lives up to 40 people. This tells me they are really glad to have us helping them. They help build houses and schools for cambodians and get them clean water from the pumps. It is so amazing how they help them so much.She adopted a girl from Cambodia too. She loans money to the cambodian's and she pays to make the houses and schools. She cares so much about them. Questions: What idea got you in to starting Tabitha by helping Cambodia? Who makes the Tabitha stuff? ...
