Zayo Colorado employees, here’s a chance to help those less fortunate, with clothing donation.
My daughter, Carlene, is going on a mission’s trip with her school this spring to the Bahamas. She is heading up a clothes drive as part of the trip – they are intending to ship some summer clothes down in advance so that they have them there to pass out. Please see the attached letter from Carlene. I know this is short notice, but if you all have any kids’ summer clothes or sandals to donate, please bring them to the Louisville office or the DTC office on Friday and I’ll pick them up. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Scott Beer
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of Valor Christian High School, a team of 20 students are going to the Bahamas for a mission’s trip on March 26th until April 2nd. We are going to immerse ourselves into the culture and try to build many relationships with the residents. While there, the team is going to paint a church and teach Vacation Bible School to local children. While teaching VBS we are going to play and share many memories with the children.
The population of Bahamas is 307,451 people and 9.3% of the population is in poverty. Due to the fact that 70% of all births are out of wedlock, most homes’ income is low and run by a single woman. The children that experience this are referred to as outside children. It is hard for most families in this situation to pay for basic needs. It is warm year round; so most of the children wear shorts, t-shirts, and sandals.
We would really appreciate any clothes donations that you are willing to make. Even a little goes a long way, especially with people in need. We plan on shipping the close down in advance of our arrival and thus we would be most appreciative if any donations were received by the 14th of March. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Carlene Beer and the
Valor Bahamas Student Leadership Team
