T-Shirts and stuff

We had a meeting today. Madame Cole introduced our next project by showing us a slide show about the Uganda Night Commuters. The Uganda Night Commuters are children in Uganda who travel in the night to non governmental safe camps that protect them from being abducted by the rebel group named The Lord's Resistance Army. The children are drugged and given guns which they use to shoot eniemies with. These children are called child soldiers. Next week we will write letters to the president of Uganda protesting these practices. Check out the link: amnestyusa.org/aikids.


We will soon be sending an order form around to the homerooms so you can take them home and order t-shirts with an awesome logo for our club, made from non-sweatshop labor! Check out the order form below:

We will order the t-shirts without the design from American Apparel, a sweatshop-free business based in Los Angeles, CA. You can view the plain t-shirts and check the size chart on line at americanapparel.net. Jessica Helfand (Malcolm’s mom) will be silk-screening the shirts with the assistance of a few Amnesty club members with Harry Rich’s winning design (with Seamus’s and Dylan’s help). If you have any questions, please call Madame Cole at school or at home: 232-6151, or send an email to kcole@berkshirecountryday.org.
