ARC Campaign Banks on Kids for Kids

The youths of Hawaii have been called upon to help the American Red Cross to participate in a fund drive for its Emergency Relief Fund. Called Kids for Kids, the ARC campaign allows students from kindergarten to 12th grade to organize, run and oversee its own program. The Red Cross encourages a student managing eouneil composed of student

representatives and a limited number of advisors to oversee all the areas of the program. Within eaeh school on all the islands a student eouneil will collect the money other students donate with eaeh one dollar donor receiving a fuzzy weepul holding a Red Cross flag. The campaign was launched Nov. 24 and will be eonducted Dec. 1-5. Campaign chairpersons are entertainer Melveen Leed and Superintendent of Education Francis Hatanaka. The national goal is $40 million. Hawaii's share is $117,000.

On the campaign s registration forms, student eouncils throughout the islands will commit to raising a certain amount of money for disaster relief. Kids will be raising money for other kids. He waiwai nui ka lokahi. Unify is a precious possession. — Maiy Kawena Pukui.
