Students at Bayridge Secondary School (BSS), led by Brenda Scarlett’s World Issues class, Kingston, ON, are true “Champions for Children” in the fight against malaria. BSS raised over $2,000 selling beautiful beaded jewelry made by Ugandan women. Not only did the students help net four villages to protect families from malaria, but they also supported employment for the “beaders” and their families. Great work,
