In early January, a dinner initiated by 9th graders, Sally E. and Jessica F. raised $3000 to support St. Clemens efforts to bring help right to the door of children in homes affected by disease, in South Africa.  9th grader Jessica, whose family originally hailed from from South Africa, and whose grandparents support St. Clements, introduced friends to the nonprofit organization and to the challenges faced by St. Clemens clients.  She also introduced friends to other facets of cultural life in South Africa, from traditional clothing to South African flags.
