WISER

Halfway across the world from Muhuru Bay, Kenya, Girl Scouts in Proctor, Vt. are helping change the lives of others.

The fifth- and sixth-grade scouts from Proctor Elementary School recently raised a $75 donation for WISER by selling pencils at local African drumming program and pot luck supper. The pencils, which were sold for $1 each, will also be donated to WISER as supplies for the school.

Denis Odhiambo and Andy Cunningham visited Proctor Elementary School over the holiday break to receive a check from the troop.

While at the school, Denis also taught students Luo words for “thank you,” “good morning,” and “all’s well.”
