School Uniform Project:
Debroah Turl, organizer of the Mahjong Club presented $100 towards the School Uniform Project collected from Mahjong players at their games. This project provides uniforms to schools in severely under privileged areas. This committee identifies schools that have an authentic interest in the development of children’s futures. Then, with the help of the school it identifies the children of families that truly need the assistance. The kids are then measured for uniforms and fitted for shoes, which are purchased and provided for through community donations. More on the School Uniform Project.
