Winter Clothing Drive, November 23-December 11

The  second-graders of Sarah Toa’s class will be collecting Winter clothing for the Li Ming School located outside the gate of Shanghai Links.  Li Ming is a school for the immigrant children whose parents relocated to Shanghai in order to find work.  They are SAS Pudong’s sister school and this is one of the ways we can support them. 

Boxes will be located throughout the school.  We are accepting children’s clothing as well as adult, blankets, suitcases and shoes. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact at sarah.toa@saschina.org or chrislomason@hotmail.com.
