Project Pericles students at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ recently raised $500 for the TOV Multipurpose Center in Tsumeb, Namibia. The donation helped purchase materials for a new building that will house the center, which serves children who have been marginalized through the AIDS-related death or illness of a parent or family member.
The Periclean Scholars Class of 2006 established a relationship with the TOV Center and its project manager, Rev. Edward Amadhila. He said the donation from ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ has allowed workers to finish plastering work and flooring in the new center.
“Our relationship with ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ is so important to us, and helps us to serve more kids,” Amadhila said. “ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ has become one of our reliable partners in helping the helpless and voiceless children in our community, to give them hope.”
Tom Arcaro, director of Project Pericles at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, said the Periclean Scholars Class of 2009 will continue to work with the TOV Center and support its efforts.
