Letter to the Editor (Feb. 19)

Dear Editor

I read the article called "Mwebaza Club at NHS Raises Money for Ugandan Boy" and was truly moved by Peter's situation. We are so fortunate in this country to have the educational opportunity that we do and to have such wonderful and local high school students committed to helping Peter. We need more young people like this and I want to ask anyone in Niwot that read the article to donate. I like to donate locally but sometimes find myself reluctant to donate internationally as I am not sure if the money will reach the recipient or be consumed by administrative costs. In this case the fact that we have our own local Niwot high schoolers supporting this cause gives me faith. I just donated today and ask the community to join this wonderful cause and great group of young people trying to help others in need.

Peggy B Graham, Niwot
