Selling T-Shirts for Zambia

Austin Howard sent us an email a couple of days ago to let us know about an idea they had.  His friend Sean Franks went to Camp LIFE last year weeks 5 and 6 and came back talking about the Tree of Life Children’s Village.  Sean and Austin had a great idea to sell t-shirts at their school to help raise money for the orphans who will be living there.  They were able to sell 500 shirts at Klein Collins High School and two other schools in their area joined with them.  All combined they have raised about $5000 dollars to help build a place for orphans to live.

We want to thank Sean and Austin for their desire to make a difference in the lives of these children.  Even though they are 10,000 miles away, they are still working for the good of the orphans of Zambia.  Because of their help and many others we will able to open the first stages of the Tree of Life Children’s Village this summer.  If you want to be there to see it open, then sign up for Camp LIFE 2009.

Sean and Austin will be presenting their idea as a potential project for all of the schools in the state of Texas sometime in March.  If they are selected, then even more schools could get involved.  Here is the video they showed at their school.
