Building schools, one penny at a time. That's what some local elementary school students are doing with a "penny drive." The Eastern Elementary School Library Club is collecting pennies to help build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Their drive is part of a program developed by the "Pennies for Peace" organization. The group was developed by Greg Mortenson, who was helped by Pakistani villagers when got lost on a mountain; Mortenson thanked the vilage by building them a school, and later began building additional schools for other communities in need. Pennies are being collected through February as part of Eastern Elementary's "penny drive;" for more information you can log on to PenniesForPeace.org. « Less
