Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – Clinton School student Jennifer Hicks is hosting a fundraiser to support her summer International Public Service Project in Moshi, Tanzania, where she will be doing outreach for Amani Children’s Home, an orphanage that rescues children from the perils of life on the streets, where they face a high risk of HIV transmission, malnutrition, and abuse.
To support Jennifer, please consider attending a silent auction on April 11 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Clinton School. The auction will feature an interesting array of items from Arkansas and around the world, including original artwork created by Tanzanian children served by Amani. An autographed copy of President Clinton’s autobiography My Life, a dinner for two with Little Rock Nine member Minnijean Brown Trickey, and concert posters signed by musician Ben Harper will be among the items available for auction.
A tax-deductible donation of $20 is requested for admission to the event. Those that would like to donate but cannot attend, may send checks payable to “Friends of Amani U.S.” to:
Jennifer Hicks
Clinton School of Public Service
Sturgis Hall
1200 President Clinton Ave.
