Thank you to Carpathia School’s WE Team for raising $448.55 at their movie night in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

You can help too:

Have a YARD SALE!
Have you ever wished you could send your lightly used items to Africa to give to a child or family in need? If so, why not hold a yard sale with all those items and donate the proceeds to Woontanara Aid!  It is much more efficient for us to bring your financial contribution to West Africa where we can purchase needed items for the families at local markets. This way, we can provide needed items as well as stimulate the local economy.

Have a BAKE SALE! 
We accept all contributions, large and small!  You may make $100 or $1000 by selling your delicious baked goods and homemade lemonade.  Either way, Woontanara Aid graciously accepts all contributions and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
