The Shenandoah County 4-H'ers have been busy fundraising for this trip since the winter months. They planned and conducted several fundraising activities and events which included a car wash, a steak dinner, a raffle, a county 4-H T-shirt sale and a BBQ chicken sale in addition to serving lunches during a regional 4-H livestock judging contest and sending letters to local businesses and civic organizations requesting donations. The group pledged to visit clubs and groups during the next year to share a powerpoint program about their trip.
Not only were they successful in their fundraising efforts, but they also built teamwork and leadership skills as they planned and carried out these activities.
As part of their service project, all of the 4-H teens have been collecting school supplies to bring to the Dominican Republic to donate to a little school in Veron that we have helped every year - Colegio Elizabeth.
