GRADE 8 RELIGIOUS ED SEEKS YOUR HELP!
Almost within sight of the Statue of Liberty, there are 326 immigrants languishing in “detention”. They are confined to dormitories inside a windowless, converted warehouse. The detainees never leave the building, never breathe fresh air, and are never called by their name. A major concern for the detainees is to be in contact with family and friends. For many of the detainees even this simple pleasure is denied, since they do not have money to purchase stationery, stamped envelopes or phone cards.
The 8th graders of our Religious Education Program will be collecting the following items until Sunday, April 29th:
Blank two-pocket folders ~1st class "forever" stamps and 98 cent stamps for international mail ~ and stationery
Items can be left in the back of church in the donation box.
