A Message from The Student Council~Please Help us Collect Supplies so...
TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
There are 90 students in the orphanage but only 60 children will participate in the project. Student Council is requesting supplies for the fun activity the pupils can enjoy. Rain sticks are fun "tubes" that when you turn them over and over they sound like falling rain. It’s a lot of fun for children to just turn it over and over again and again. The legend of the craft is the more you shake it the more it will rain.
Rain sticks include:
