Mr. Wallace supported the idea, and he asked all his students to do some special homework that night. They were to research charity organizations and choose one that the class would donate to. The next day, the students agreed on One World.
Since then, they have been raising money at school and around the community.They have started information meetings to teach people about the issue and encourage them to help. So far, they have collected $650.
