The Lake Tahoe School in Tahoe City is participating in Pennies for Peace, founded by Greg Mortenson, co-author of the #1 NY Times Best-seller, “Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace…One School At A Time.”
Bring your pennies to the Lake Tahoe School in Tahoe City until February 12, 2010 and help build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Pennies for Peace program is designed to help students broaden their cultural horizons and learn about their capacities as philanthropists. It educates students about the world beyond their experience and shows them that they can make a positive impact on a global scale, one penny at a time. Students learn the rewards of sharing and working together to bring hope and education opportunities to the children in Pakistan and Afghanistan. While a penny is virtually worthless, in impoverished countries a penny buys a pencil and opens the door to literacy.
