RRHS Graduate Needs Your Help!
Stephanie von Ancken, a RRHS 2009 graduate, has spent the last 9 months living and working in Granada, Nicaragua. She did an internship for a non-profit organization called Casa Xalteva. She is raising money to build a new kitchen to provide children breakfast and lunch. The current kitchen is worn out and slow. Thankfully, there is a simple solution to keeping the children in school and you can help! They need new kitchen appliances and a larger refrigerator to store enough food for the week! Please share this link with your friends and family who may be interested! View a short video about this effort. Thank you Ram Nation for your support! Donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $1,000.
