Trading Hot Chocolate for Donations

Courtney Jensen and some of the participants from the Acalanes "Campaigners" Young Life group, a 501(c) (3) charitable organization, were enthusiastically giving out hot chocolate and asking for donations for a trip to Africa on a recent chilly day in front of the Lafayette Reservoir. "We have a desire to make a difference in the world," said Jensen. Their tentative plans include painting a school and working on a water project in Tanzania or Kenya; their plans haven't been finalized. They have started a fundraising effort to help at least partially de-fray the cost of the trip. Katie Stensland, Fiona Nelis and Kim Holland, along with organizer Jensen, made $145 that day, the day before Thanksgiving. Although the $145 is just a drop in the bucket - it's a start and the young women have ambitious plans for future fundraisers. For more information, check out their blog at http://africaorbust2012.wordpress.com. C.Tyson
