Tarek's Education Project

Hello,

My name is Tarek, I'm nine years old going into fourth grade at Ottawa Hills. I'd like to tell you about my fundraiser and why I'm doing it.

I learned about school district lines when my mom explained why we moved from my grandparents home. This sounded like modern day segregation to me.

I think unequal rights come from segregation and to end that we need equal education. One day I want to pass a law to get rid of district lines. Right now I would like to raise money for computers for kids.

I know kids near me don't have computers. Please help me reach my goal of buying computers for a school. If I can only give to a grade or class I will be happy.

I will be collecting starting today and end on Friday, July 31st. I chose this time because it is the last ten days leading up to my holiday. In my religion, good deeds done on these ten days are very important.

Thank you for reading this and for your help.

Tarek
