YOUNG HELPING HANDS ARE ON THE RISE!

A Middle School Student Raised Funds for UniKids

A middle school student at Louisville Collegiate School took the initiative to raise funds for UniKids. Joel Punwani, an 8^th grader, said that he wanted to organize the fundraiser because he is passionate about helping others. He likes the mission of UniKids in helping students with their school supplies needs.

In October 2012, he got his collection bin decorated and set out to on his school’s hallway whenever he gets a chance. Through his leadership skills and the ability to communicate with fellow students about his goal, Joel raised $161.00. He presented the check to Senait Mareligne, Founder of Unikids.
