Hooray for Eric. He has finished his project and packet prior to his 18th birthday. Now just his court of honor remaining. To summarize, Eric spearheaded a very worthwhile project of a drive of items to benefit orphans in Ethiopia. It was hugely successful that the amount collected is also being distributed to other orphanages across the world.
To date, two shipments have left. The first shipment to an orphanage in ethiopia who rescue children from tribes who believe kids are possessed with evil spirits if there top teeth come in before their bottom teeth. These kids are put to death in this situation if not for the rescue efforts of this orphanage. We were glad to help. The 2nd was an orphanage in Nicaragua. It was an all girls orphanage needing a variety of supplies.
This project has been worthwhile and keeps reaping rewards. We hope to spur future Eagle Projects from this great experience. We have requested pictures from the orphanages as the supplies are delivered. Keep an eye out for them.
Way to go Eric!!!
