Great shot from Powder Puff tournament

Teacher and coach Brina Stephens captured this great shot at the upper school Powder Puff tournament on Sunday. The tournament, as well as recent dress-down days in the middle and upper schools, have raised funds to install a rain catchment system for our sister school in Tamale, Ghana. Diversity Coordinator Dexter Mahaffey explains:

Dahin Sheli, our sister school in Tamale for two-year-old kids up to eighth graders has no running water on campus. None. Zippo. Zilch.

If they want or need water, women and girls have to tote large plastic buckets on their heads to the nearest well--which is not next door--and carry it back.

We're trying to raise $10,000 by the end of the school year to put in a system that catches rainwater, purifies it, and collects it in a huge storage tank for year-round use.

A parent has pledged to match however much money KCD raises by the end of the school year up to $5000. SO, all we need to do is raise about $4000 more than we've already raised, and they begin installing the system this summer, in time to collect rainwater before the dry season hits in October.

Every penny you donate, from Powder Puff to dress down, goes towards this.
