Recently, first grader Hannah Griffin Smith has taken the responsibility to help the Akilah Institute for Women. Over the past two months she and her mom, Amy Griffin, have successfully organized donation areas at her school and have collected paper, pencils, pencil sharpeners, markers, and pens for all of our 50 new students. Hannah is a true example of the ability to make a positive difference at any age.
In addition to collecting supplies, Hannah has sold cupcakes for donations at her church St. Thomas to help pay for shipping costs of the school supplies. Thanks to the support of her friends and family, she is able to send two large boxes to Rwanda. Akilah is so grateful for Hannah’s efforts to help others and truly generous heart!
