Student Reach In The News: Guelph Tribune

Centennial Collegiate Grade 12 students Ashley Bondad, left, and Abid Virani are trying to encourage students to reach out to people across the world during this school year. They're the founders of Student Reach, a student-run organization which they hope will soon be a registered non-profit group. It's starting a contest encouraging Guelph students to make a global impact. The Secondary School Reaching Competition, which will urge students to contribute to building a school in Kenya, will end with a benefit event and awards ceremony next May for all involved. The keynote speaker is Craig Kielburger, founder of Free the Children. Letters and information packages will be delivered this week to high school principals in Guelph asking their schools to participate. For information, visit www.student-reach.com.
