Yard Sale For Africa School

Tomorrow morning my daughter, actually most of our family will be involved in a yard sale to raise funds and awareness for the need for schools in Africa. This project was the outcome from involvement by our grand daughter and her mother in helping build a school in Kenya. One of the requests was for groups to try to raise $5000 for the project.

We have used this yard sale as a means to de clutter our home and garage. With no trouble at all we garnished two van loads of treasures for the sale. There is a win ...win situation here as we will do what we should have done long ago by getting rid of or recycling unwanted or unused articles. We looked at golf clubs kept for occasional use by guests, camping gear, pots and pans and extra dishes as dollars for the project. It will be fun to deal with those people who want to get everything for nothing. We can hone our bargaining skills to deal with the ruthless public and exact every penny for the cause.

We for one will be better off after the sale and doing something unselfish will make us feel good. I imagine the amount of money raised will not be great but our involvement will bring awareness of the need of others less fortunate than ourselves to those who participated.
