Walla Walla High School students organize Haiti relief effort
Jake Morgen, of Walla Walla High School's ASB Leadership class is helping organize a fundraising campaign to provide support for the earthquake striken country of Haiti in the Caribbean.
"My goal is to give Wa-Hi students and staff a practical way to help people in desperate need, and to act selflessly by giving what they can," Morgen said.
Envelopes have been distributed to Walla Walla High School teachers to be used as a collection point for staff and students. All donations will be sent directly to Unicef, an organization that will send 100 percent of money raised to be used for relief in Haiti.
"Even nickels and pennies add up," Morgen said. "I appreciate all of your support in making the world a better place."
Collections will continue through Friday, Jan. 22. Money will also be collected during lunches.
