113007katieONE member and Development Director for New Morning School Kelly Krawczyk helped to partner New Morning School in Plymouth, MI, and Chichiri Primary School in Blantyre, Malawi to educate students about life, culture and history in another country.

I visited New Morning School as they kicked off their Africa project to discuss some of the struggles that children in Africa can face because of the lack of water, lack of education and the devastating effects of malaria. I gave ONE gear to several young activists that have already raised funds for their partner school by doing lawn work, selling handmade products and holding garage sales.

Learning and taking action — that’s what it’s all about!

-Katie Andrews, ONE Regional Organizer
