Nelly Furtado helps out on donation that kept on growing

The Christmas Carnival at Leamington, Ont.’s Queen of Peace Catholic School helped raise $5,000 for a girls school in Kenya. That amount has tripled with matching grants.

Students and staff at Queen of Peace Catholic Elementary School in Leamington, Ont., have 15,000 reasons to celebrate.

That’s how many dollars the school’s efforts have raised for a clean water system at a new all-girls secondary school in the Maasai region of Kenya. 

After the students raised $5,000 during their Clean Water campaign, a component of Free the Children’s Adopt a Village program, they learned their efforts were matched, not once, but twice.
