Schools Making An Effort To Help

Thousands of people have been affected by the flooding brought about by torrential rains these past few days. If you are one of the more fortunate ones whose house has been spared from the flood, this is the time to help out your brother and sisters in need.

There are lots of ways to help: you can donate in cash or in kind or serve as volunteer in a relief center near you.

We've compiled a list of some schools who are accepting donations, welcoming volunteers, and are raising funds to help out flood victims. If you want us to put your school's relief operations here, please tweet us @candymagdotcom or email us at webmaster @candymag.com.
