Pennies for Peace
Second graders at St. Perpetua School in Lafayette are joining with tens of thousands of school children around the world to collect pennies for schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan started by Greg Mortenson, author of the best seller, “Three Cups of Tea.” They have studied the countries’ cultures, made posters for their school’s hallways and visited classrooms to enlist their schoolmates support for their philanthropic efforts. A single penny can buy a pencil in Afghanistan.
