=Thirty Days to Make A Difference = The students & faculty of E.T. Richardson Middle School would like to make a difference this year by reaching out to children living in the slums of Soweto near the city of Nairobi in Kenya. There, in Soweto, is a place called the Hope Bright Future School. HBF provides an education and a healthy lunch for children living on the fringe of society. Without HBF these children would face a grim future. Our goal is to partner with Transformed International an NGO and registered nonprofit organization that assists HBF through its Soweto School Project. **//How much does it cost for a child to attend the Hope Bright Future School in Soweto?//** For just $100.00 a year children receive a uniform, education. In addition students are served a healthy meal each day.

Our goal is to make sure 50 students can attend HBF. To do this we will need to raise $5000.00 which amounts to about $5.00 per student attending E.T. Richardson Middle School. Beginning February 1, 2009 the E.T. Richardson Middle School community is going to dedicate 30 days to make a difference for the children of Soweto. During this time we will hold events to generate awareness and raise money toward our goal. = We are not content to wait on the world to change instead we will brighten this dark corner of the world with our creativity, energy and compassion. Join us for 30 Days and make a difference! =
