Starfish
Starfish is our outreach program. Teaching our students that giving with love is
one of the greatest gifts we can share. Riviera Hall students and families are proud
to include the following organizations in our outreach program.
St. John’s Lutheran School in New Orleans
Our students have raised over $2500 through their chapel offerings for the
continued support of the rebuilding of St. John’s Lutheran School in New Orleans.
Community’s Child
Community’s Child is committed to offering women and their infants healthy
alternatives by providing safe living environments, training and education to end
poverty, neglect, abuse, addictions and hopelessness. Our students brought in
several boxes of diapers, clothing and baby items along with cash donations from
the President’s Penny Drive in support of this fine program.
Hope International the Street Children of Brazil
In Brazil, there are an estimated 7 million children who live on the streets. They
suffer every imaginable form of abuse, neglect, violence and exploitation. The
average survival for street kids is only three to four years. These children
desperately need a new beginning. Hope Unlimited ministers to the physical,
educational, and spiritual needs of Brazil’s street children who live in mortal risk.
Using a comprehensive Christ-centered model, these children experience personal
transformation while being equipped to live successful, productive lives as adult
members of society.
Riviera Hall is proud to have been given the opportunity to donate to this fine
organization. Our students choose to have their birthday party guests bring
donations for this fine organization in place of birthday gifts.
Operation Christmas Child
Riviera Hall donated over 200 shoe boxes filled with
necessities and small toys to Franklin Graham’s Christian organization, Samaritan’s
Purse. These boxes were given to children in war-torn and poverty stricken
countries as Christmas gifts. |
