SAN ANTONIO (UPI) -- A group of fifth-graders at a middle school in
San Antonio, Texas, have raised more than 1 million pennies to help
abused and neglected children.
KSAT-TV in San Antonio reported the students at Navarro Intermediate
School raised more than $10,000 in pennies. The money was donated to
the Guadalupe County Children's Advocacy Center.
"It feels good to be able to help kids who have been abused,"
fifth-grader Kellan Berry said. "To help them out so they can get
clothes."
The children's advocacy center provides a homelike environment to
abused children. The center's Paul Marsh praised the students' act of
kindness.
"I think it's a true example of the love of mankind," Marsh said. "Not
only to the advocacy center, but to society as a whole."
