$12.00 = one school uniform for a child
Did you know that while some third world "public" schools are free, many children are prevented from attending because they cannot afford to purchase the required school uniform? Or that every year, 75 million children are not in school -- 2/3s of them girls?
This fall, the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, Jeffrey Lee, decided to do something about that. He challenged every Episcopalian in the diocese to purchase one school uniform for $12. Monies donated will go to Episcopal Relief and Development (er-d.org) who will ensure that children can attend school.
If you donate a uniform, you will receive a gift card suitable for gift giving. The card announces that a uniform has been donated in the recipient's name. The cards are available through me. All proceeds will be directed to Episcopal Relief and Development.
