Comments Off on PROJECT — LIGHT THE NIGHT

S.T.E.P. students are getting into the holiday spirit by giving gifts of candy, toothbrushes and solar lights to children in Afghanistan.  Students in S.T.E.P. are partnering with The Savannah Air National Guard to distribute solar lights to school children.  In addition to helping children to do their homework at night, the solar lights will help their families to save money by not having to buy kerosene for their lamps.  Afghan families can often spend 20 -30 percent of their income on expensive kerosene.   The solar lights are also safer to use.  Each year thousands of children are burned and often die from kerosene fires.  The solar lights will also improve their health and environment by not having to breath the fumes from the toxic gas.

So, please help make a big difference in the life of a child by donating to S.T.E.P.  Your donation will not only help a child to learn, but can perhaps even save a life!  Please donate by simply going to the box at the left.  Your gift can mean the difference between life and death to a child.
