Middle School Tee Shirts from Africa

Modeling African Tee Shirts

Keela Dates, founder of Reason2Smile, a support organization for Jambo Jipya, a school in Kenya for orphaned and at-risk children, returned from her latest trip to Kenya bringing with her the tee shirts each African student designed for the Parker student who had made a shirt for them.
Our students were the ones with the smiles as they received their unique art work, put them on and modeled for the camera.
