The tremendous progress made for School from the
Heart, our international joint venture with UNICEF,
was announced during the HD Platinum Circle
awards. To date we have raised $136,495, (our UK
chapter alone raising an astounding £41,000). To
put this in perspective, this equates to 342 boxes
which will aid in the education of over 27,000
students! THANK YOU to everyone who has
contributed. Together, NEWH, Inc. and UNICEF can
make a difference in the lives of so many
disadvantaged children.
