WIT @ Work

Another week of WitKids changing the world...1 WitProject at a time!

WitKid Book Drive

5 WitKid boys organized a school-wide WitKid Book Drive. They are now collecting new and/or gently used books to be given to kids at the Holiday Magic for Kids event being put on by the San Diego Coalition for Homeless. These WitKids organized their book drive in less than 24 hours and already have boxes of donations! I can't wait to see the final collection!

WitKid Daraja Academy Well Project

A local classroom full of WitKids chose their International WitKid project! They will work on getting clean water to the girls at The Daraja Academy in Kenya. Their fundraising ideas include recycling water bottles, putting on a talent show, and writing/selling a recipe book. When asked how much they would charge for talent show tickets, Claire said, "$10...since we'll be better than a movie...we will be live." In addition to these fundraising events WitKids, Inc. has also been talking with H20 for Life about the Daraja well project.

WitKid...She Can Dance!

Jackie, a 5th grader, has launched her own WitKid project. She is working on getting her dance troupe prepared for a very special project. Jackie and her dancing friends are getting ready to put on a performance for kids that are in a local hospital. Her WHATEVER IT TAKES! attitude will make this happen and bring smiles to many faces!

WitKids Honor Our Veterans

A group of WitKids are helping get 100 Christmas cards to our local homeless veterans. They are working with Friends of Homeless Veterans. This organization is made up of

a group of individuals that raise money to support homeless veterans. You can see more pics of the WitKid designed Christmas cards here. If you would like to make cards for our veterans, create your own and mail them to
