For Mother's Day, a Gift to Cross Half the World

This Mother's Day, the Chatham High School Key Club offers the chance to honor moms and foster learning at the same time.

The club is holding a tile sale from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 1. Nicole Avery, one of the club's advisors, said, "We are asking students to make the tiles in honor of their mothers."

The tiles will go to Nepal, where they will be used on a Garden of Harmony Tile Wall for that country's first library. The library will be in Lumbini.

A $15 donation buys a tile for students to decorate and a book for the library with a nameplate bearing the name of the student's mother.

A $25 donation two tiles, one for the library and one to bring home to mom, along with a certficate to commemorate the donation and the book with the nameplate.

The Key Club partnered with Anatta World Health and Education Outreach and with Artware Fundraising to provide the tiles, paints and books for this fundraiser.
