Much efforts and most of Shivali’s time has been donated recently to a wonderful & beautiful project called “Shivali’s 1K For 1Kid.” This project is for a kids home that extends support to neglected, abused, orphaned and such children at the “Methodist Home For Children (MHC)” all over the great state of NC. “Shivali’s 1K For 1Kid,” goal was to raise $1000 so MHC can successfully tend to the needs of a single child for a complete year. Never in her dreams had Shivali thought that she would be able to achieve so much in merely four weeks. She has raised over $1,500 by selling ribbons and getting her school, community, and long distance friends & family to help her reach her goal. The money she has gathered will help MHC to clothe and feed children in their group homes, counsel families in crisis, find homes for children with our foster families, and serve children affected by substance abuse. She has also donated approximately five to six boxes of school supplies and 60 books & bears.
Meredith Twigg, National American Miss North Carolina Jr. Teen Queen donated the books from the pageant to the principal of Bessemer Elementary School in Greensboro. Bessemer Elementary School and First Baptist Church Greensboro hosted a “Steps to Success” Kindergarten camp for children. The camp aims to equip these new kindergarteners, some of which do not speak any English, with the necessary skills and confidence needed to start school. Meredith is volunteering this week as a “Buddy” for the children and travels through a mock school day each day. Breakfast and lunch is provided by the church. Meredith donated all the books to the school to be used as take home books for these children to have. Some of these children live in the Children’s Home and others do not have books at home. Students will get take home “homework” bags with these books in them.
