Woodland International Food Fair Benefits ADRA

Michigan—On Sunday, March 25, students of Woodland Seventh-day Adventist School hosted an International Food Fair.

First, each student picked a country to research. Everyone in fifth through eighth grades did a research paper on their country, and ninth graders did a PowerPoint presentation of their country. After they finished their papers, they each picked an Adventist Development & Relief Agency International (ADRA) project in their country. Then they worked on posters and decorations for their booth.

The afternoon of the fair, students arrived early at the church to set up. They set up tables, helped others with decorations, and set out their food. By 4:00 p.m., people started to arrive. The first stop was the exchange center. There, visitors received passports and exchanged dollars for tickets. The rate of exchange was $1 for four tickets. "Always get your passports stamped at each booth you visit," they were told, "otherwise you will be caught by the passport control agents and be heavily fined!" One time, just for fun, Tom Onjukka spoke through the microphone, "April Moravetz, you have been caught illegally traveling without a passport. Please report to the passport control agents to pay your fine!" Everybody laughed and laughed at that!

The students really enjoyed the fair and were glad they could do something to help other people. All together they raised $488 for ADRA. Visit www.adra.org to learn how you may support ADRA projects.
