The money that is donated during the campaign will be split in half. Half goes to Father Tony’s St. Vincent’s orphanage in Kerala, India, while the other half will be given to Jean-Paul Nkunzi from Good Shepherd School in Peace River for the construction of his school in Congo. The fundraiser will end on April 10 when the cans located in High Prairie businesses will be collected and counted. In previous years the school has collected a combined total of about $6,000. This year they hope to add $2,500. So far the school has raised close to $1,000 with just the silent art and baked goods auction.
