Friends of Marich T-shirts selling


 Friends of Marich is a meaningful community service group at ISK, that I joined this year as a member in the fundraising committee, because of all the good things I heard about this club and how they help the Pokot people living in the Marich region. Plus I went to the InterCultural trip in January with the rest of the club members to Kitae in the Marich region in Northern Kenya which was a lot of fun.

As I said earlier, Friends of Marich works closely with the Pokot people living in the Marich region. Our goal is to raise money and awareness throughout the year to support the community living there and providing necessary aid. Last year and the years before, the group has built bridges across rivers which was a problem in that region before, they also built a playground for children.

I hope to achieve the same things this year, to help this community and make their lives better. So this year, we had a logo contest earlier in February and a student from the senior year designed a really nice logo for us and she won (Joanna Ondrusek).
So we ordered T-shirts (large and extra large) plain white shirts with only the logo printed in small at the front and on the back is written "Laying the Foundations for Future prosperity". Each member of the club has 5 tshirts to sell for 1000Ksh each and can sell as many as they want. The money will of course go to the Marich people we have been working with and trying to help. So far I have sold 2tshirts but I am still planning on selling many more to as much people as I can. 
I think It is a great cause and the money is really worth it, we want to raise awareness and try to help these people in Marich that we went and visited in  January during our Intercultural trip.
