Pinewood Helps #StopPneumonia
The Junior High Student Council at Pinewood School in Los Altos Hills, CA conducted two bake war competitions, one in the Fall of 2018 and one in the Spring of 2019, to raise money for World Connect! They also sold candygrams for Valentine’s Day.
Raising a total of $1,023.22 for the #StopPneumonia project in Nigeria, the students at Pinewood have helped hundreds of children in Lagos, Nigeria receive their first-ever Pneumonia vaccination and have an opportunity to be treated if they already had Pneumonia. Thousands of mothers and caregivers were also educated on ways to recognize signs and symptoms.
