Ice Cream to Bricks

by Kevin Butler

The latest from Jean Jorgensen and Facebook:

Reports are starting to come in from the nationwide YF Ice Cream Social held this past weekend to buy Bricks for Malawi.
With only nine groups checking in so far, the money raised has surpassed the 100,000 brick level!!

I (Kevin) saw that several groups raised money in the $600-700 range. One group put on puppet shows and skits for people who came to their social, another held a "Penny War" between the boys and girls. (The girls won.) I also heard that one church will hold their fundraiser this coming weekend, so the totals should climb.

The bricks will help rebuild the maternity ward and staff houses at the Thembe Medical Clinic in Malawi. A big "thank you" to all who participated!
