Odyssey Students Give Back
Heifer International Results
The Odyssey students at Windsor School raised $927.58 for Heifer International. Therefore, we were able to purchase a heifer (500.00) a water buffalo (250.00), a pig (120.00), chicks (20.00) and bees (30.00). The remaining money went to a category called, "where needed most." The Odyssey students voted for each animal based on their usefulness and ability to help the families become more financially independent.
Now if that wasn't good enough, Ben Klicker (who brought the idea to Windsor) received a matching gift coupon in the mail from Heifer International. Our donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar to provide twice the funding and will go to impoverished communities throughout Honduras and Guatemala.
To the Windsor Community, thank you for your generosity.
