For Miriam’s 8th birthday she decided that instead of gifts she would ask her friends to help children in Africa,so she sent out an invitation with this written on it; Please don’t bring a gift for me – We will make a cool group present while you are here. For my birthday, I would like to make a donation to a charity. I would like to help dig a well for a school in Africa. If each of you brings $5 instead of a present I will send the money to help children who don’t have clean water.
