"I learned that helping people outside of the U.S.A. is fun. You can help people and most of all you can make a difference in your community and fellow people." ~Josie

"I learned that when you help, it feels good." ~Michael

"I learned from my experience that helping students in Kenya can make a big difference in someone else's life, and my own life too. Then, as soon as we have raised $750, I will feel really good for the kids to have an opportunity to go to school in Kenya." ~Vika

"I learned about helping people around the world. I also learned that we are more fortunate than some kids. We should all participate in fundraisers and we should all help our friends around the planet." ~Sydney

"I learned that helping is really good. I also learned how to be a responsible global citizen. This is something I will never forget." ~Faiza

"I learned to be a responsible global citizen. I also learned that it is important to help people in a different place. I did it because I knew it was the right thing." ~Wesley

"I learned that helping people can actually be fun!" ~Luke

"Other kids have a lot less than we do." ~Sam

"Even though you don't know someone doesn't mean you can't help. It feels nice to make a difference." ~Peyton

"I learned that it takes $750 to send one person to school in Kenya. That is a lot of money. It made me realize how lucky students are in the U.S." ~Dawson

"Students in Kenya don't have enough food to eat and clean water to drink. For better learning, students in Kenya need more schools and more teachers. I am really fortunate to have everything here in the U.S. while many poor kids in Kenya have nothing." ~Andrew
