What is it? __** The American school will be hosting its third annual //Empty Bowls// event March 18th, 2010, from 5-6pm//.// Our auction will be followed by the High School band Spring concert in the gymnasium. We will make and sell as many bowls as we can to raise money to buy food for three daycares in Nueva Suyapa. These centers provide free daycare services to single mothers who need to work but can not afford care for their kids. For some of the children the meal they get at the daycare may be the only one they get all day. Our hope is that we can raise enough money to provide each daycare with the food it needs for the entire year.
