Local 4th graders’
fund-raising effort
to aid Ethiopians
By TAMARA BELL
Staff Writer
Working together, children at
tending two area grade schools are
raising money to aid children in
Ethiopia.
The children, who call themselves
“Hunger Busters,” are working in
conjunction with People Feeding
People, an Austin-based organiza
tion, says Dr. Carolyn Ross, a Col
lege Station practitioner.
“We went to the children with
facts about the conditions in Ethio-
ia,” Ross says. “It was their idea to
elp Ethiopia. Children have less
hangups than adults. They see peo
ple need help and they help them.”
A sense of accomplishment is an
other reason the fourth-graders of
Henderson and Sul Ross Elementary
Schools sponsor bake sales and car
washes to reach the $50,000 goal,
Ross says.
“The kids are heroes to themsel
ves,” Ross says. “So far they’ve col
lected about $1,000. They come up
with their own projects. All I do is
provide ‘Hunger Buster’ t-shirts and
the publicity."
Although the children are enthu
siastic about contributing to the
fund, some parents are not, says Me
linda Box, who teaches fourth grade
at Henderson.
“Parents are suspicious because
they don’t know exactly where this
money goes,” Box says. 4 We mail let
ters home to inform the parents that
the money goes toward food, shel
ter, clothing and medical supplies.”
About 95 percent of the money
raised by the children goes to Ethio
pia as direct relief, Ross says.
“Most organizations like Red
Cross keep 15 percent to 30 percent
to cover administrative costs,” she
says. “We promise to keep adminis
trative costs down so almost all of the
money can go where it’s mostly nee
ded.”
While students are raising money
for Ethiopia, they also are learning
about the country in social studies,
Box says.
“Because the students are aware
of the problems in Ethiopia, it’s an
ideal time to dispel myths like all
Ethiopians are lazy,” Box says. “I
even tie in nutrition discussions
when we talk of Ethiopia’s medical
conditions.”
Even though the money needs to
be raised by the end of May, Ross
hopes tht “Hunger Busters” club
will continue during the summer
months.
The students’ next project is a car
wash May 4 at Red Lobster on Texas
Ave.
“Students from Henderson and
Sul Ross are combining efforts to
raise the money,” Ross says. “This
project is bringing kids together to
feed other kids.”

Where else but BrazosBanc.
BrazosBanc has been the mortgage lending leader in Central Texas since 1919. No one
offers more products (fixed rates, buy downs, ARMs, etc.). No one offers more terms (as
few as 15 and as many as 30 years to repay). And no one has better rates (shop rates
before you commit. Ask about application fees and commitment policy. BrazosBanc
has no application fee. Our commitment policy is very beneficial: we’ll never charge a
rate higher than your 45 day commitment. If the market falls during the paperwork
period, we’ll charge you less.)
No one says “Yes” in less time. BrazosBanc usually can approve a loan and issue a
commitment in two weeks. Some institutions take months.
If you are not sure this is the time to build or buy, talk to your Realtor—then come to any
BrazosBanc office. We’ll handle the details and soon you'll be in the home of your
dreams.
