ONE Campaign

There is an organization called the ONE Campaign that students at my school help out with every year. I’m writing this to reach out to people and help get donations.

Kennedy High School has participated in the ONE Campaign every year since 2006. This year we are trying to reach out and get more donations.

The ONE Campaign is the global campaign to eradicate world poverty. Each year since 2006, Kennedy students have raised around $10,000. With that money, we have packaged 40,000 meals with Kids against Hunger. This totals to be $60,000 and 240,000 meals.

That’s a lot of meals for a lot of people who are in need. This is my favorite part of the whole ordeal. I like to work with my classmates to package meals because it creates team work with your peers. It’s also an enjoyable experience and you feel good helping out those who are in need. 240,000 meals take a while to package but many different clubs and classes throughout Kennedy all come together to make this happen.

For the past couple years we have sent these 240,000 packaged meals to an orphanage in Haiti.

However, this year we decided to take a different approach. This year we would like to send the food to the Philippines where more than 4,000 lives have been lost and 3 million people have been displaced due to Typhoon Haiyah.

We would like your help in donating to the ONE Campaign. You could make a difference to the lives of many in the Philippines who have lost so much to the horrible Typhoon Haiyah.

If you donate, your donation will be tax deductible so it would benefit you as well.

It is the season of giving so why not, give a little to those who have none. Let me tell you it’s a really good feeling to know you helped out this people. Just think of the joy it will bring to them.

Please help Kennedy High School’s ONE Campaign help these people in need.
