October 15th 2008: Blandine du Sordet is the teacher for the CM2C class (5th Grade) of Lycee Francais de New York (LFNY) for the year 2008-2009. Every year the LFNY motivates their young students to raise funds for a charity of their choice.
The Children of Peru Foundation is very proud to have been selected again for this year's effort! And this year we have 2 different classes!

We offered several projects to Blandine and her students. The whole class oversaw all the projects and after several discussions the children proceeded to vote on the projetcs!!

The winning project is the May 2009 mission to Cuzco to operate poor children with clefts lips and palates. The organization who is executing these very intense trips is MMFC ("Medical Missions For Children") with whom we already did 2 missions to Cuzco (2007 & 2008). In each mission, more than 100 children are screened and between 70 and 80 receive free life changing surgery.

The class fundraising goal is $ 800.00
 

Fundraising actions undertaken by the students:

Chores around the house (setting the table, cleaning up, moping the floor...)
Homemade cookies sold in the park
Books sold in the park
Homemade lemonade sold in the park
Yardsale
Homemade bracelets and bags sold
