Sixth Graders Collect Bottles for Save The Children

On Saturday June 12 the Hamilton Central School class of 2016 (the current 6th graders) will hold their annual bottle drive to benefit Save the Children.  Drop offs can be made in the HCS parking lot/bus garage from 8 a.m. until noon.  

All proceeds go to support their ongoing sponsorship of a child in Malawi, Africa. Pick-ups can be arranged for donations by leaving a message at 824.2504.

The HCS class of 2016 began their sponsorship of a child through Save the Children while in third grade. Since that time they have worked together to make a difference in the lives of children less fortunate then themselves by partnering with Save the Children.  Their ongoing sponsorship of a child in the developing African country of Malawi has made a real and tangible impact in this extremely poor region.

Their efforts have raised hundreds of dollars to help Save the Children continue programs like Basic Education and Reading Campaigns in Malawi.  Nutritional support, water purification systems, and agriculture development are just some of the ongoing efforts to which Save the Children is dedicated.
