Abby attended a special event hosted by The Rotary Club of Akron, on Feb. 17, 2010. The Club donated funds to Abby and Kids Building Hope toward the completion of the project – and for school supplies for the 500 children who will attend the school.

Kids Building Hope is an organization whose members themselves are children, here in Ohio, and they are dedicated to helping children elsewhere around the world through education.

Actually, Abby, a 14-year-old freshman at Jackson High School, is following in the footsteps of her sister Carly, who is 16 and now a junior at the school. Carly and Kids Building Hope were involved two years ago in another project to build a school in Vietnam.
