Local High School Students Collect Toiletries For Global Shout

Collaborating and fundraising with their classmates and teachers, local high schoolers Talia and Jessica Berger were able to raise over $1,000 worth of toiletry items for our families of Afghan refugees. They were able to gift some of their donations to a family of three, including a mother and her two college age daughters, who had to leave their family behind in the western city of Herat, in hopes of finding a better life and opportunity for education that would not have been allowed under the rule of the Taliban. Living out of a hotel for the past few months has been tough for our families, as money is scarce due to limited funding from the government. But with the help of girls like the Berger sisters, it makes this transition a little bit more pleasant, and gives our families hope of a better future ahead.
