Going Globals!! 5 Little soldiers!

Donation protected
A group of five 4th graders “The Five Little Soldiers” from Pleasanton, CA decided to help raise awareness within our community for our troops that are on active duty and those that have returned home from duty and are facing challenges. These kids have been working since past year on various creative ways of raising awareness and support and raise funds in support of troops and their impacted families.

Some of the projects that the team worked on are listed below:

- Collected over 100 letters in support of active duty troops
- Donated over 500 hygienic items at East Bay Stand Down for homeless veterans
- Raised about $50 dollars for troops by donating Halloween candy(250 lbs.)
- Hosted face/hand painting booths at various Bay Area events to collect funds for troops
- Participated in Veterans day parades in Pleasanton for raising awareness

As of now, the team collected over $500 in support for troops and their families, and they continue to work on more projects and activities to raise additional funds and help spread awareness within our community.

A full page article was published in Pleasanton Patch magazine appreciating and recognizing their contributions towards awareness and support. The URL link to the Pleasanton patch article is provided below.

The Five Little Soldiers further participated in Destination Imagination (DI) competition and demonstrated their creative ideas and their contribution towards this awareness and support. Their efforts were greatly appreciated and the team won the 2nd prize in the Regional competition and State Level DI (competed with 25+ State teams) and have now qualified for DI Global Finals that will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee in May 2015.

The team registration fees for DI Global Finals are steep (approx. $4000) and the team is seeking sponsorship from Organizations and Support Groups to help sponsor the event registration cost and help the five little soldiers spread awareness and support for our troops and veterans. The DI Global Finals URL link is provided below.
