Children Raise Funds for Happy Tribe Penny War
More than 6000 pennies were subscribed in San Antonio and Southwest Texas during the first week to aid Belgian and Flemish war orphans. The drive features “second penny day” on Thursday with hopes to reach 12 000 to 14 000 pennies. Local pastors and Mayor Bell endorsed the effort, and children organized plays, sales, and box collections at stores to boost donations.
