Thanks to all the hard work of the many people and children that have contributed funds and school supplies for the Usa River Priamry School, I had the opportunity to play Santa in July.  Yes… I handed out special awards (School bags, folders, balls and supplies) directly to the brightest, most improved and best athletes in each grade of the school. 

Upon my arrival on July 25th, 2008, a total of 1600 pounds of school supplies were un-boxed and distributed to the children in the Usa River area.  The looks in their eyes and the appreciation shown by the children and the adults made it all worth it.  You truly touched their hearts and made a difference for many.

I also got to view the completion of the Phase 1 of the construction project.  The new veranda (cement walkway and half wall) along with the extended roof was being used for children to study, for the children to eat their lunch and for the teachers to check papers.
