Local Students are Making a Difference Globally

For two weeks in March, East Antigonish Academy grade 12 student, Taylor DeGruchy, along with Hannah Gillis from Guysborough Academy, travelled to Costa Rica to participate in a service project.  The girls worked at a daycare, called "Rayito de Luz", located in an impoverished area of Ria Azul.  The children in this area live in extremely poor conditions and many are victims of domestic violence.  The daycare operates off of a small government subsidy.  The girls spent most of their time in Costa Rica working with the children at this daycare and found the experience to be eye-opening and life-changing.  Thanks to the fundraising of Mrs. Kerri-Lynn Brown's grade 5/6 class at the East, over $200 was available for the girls to buy many essential supplies for the children at the daycare.
