HOT CHOCOLATE FOR PEACE / CHOCOLATE CALIENTE POR PAZ
Since our first Hot Chocolate/Churros stand last Sunday, Lily & Lauren (Age 10) have raised $8500 To Reunite Immigrant Families.
JOIN US this Sunday, hosted by the First Unitarian Church of Oakland, from 1-3:30 p.m. All donations will support RAICES, whose mission is to “help separated families, detained families, unaccompanied minors, and others who are seeking asylum in the United States.”
The girls decided to host the chocolate and churros stand as a response to the 7 year old boy in Austin, TX, whose hot chocolate stand raised more than $5,000 to support building the wall between the US and Mexico. Lily and Lauren could not accept this, when families are still being separated, with children being caged, illegally adopted and parents unable to be reunited.
Lily is an integral member of the GRAMMY nominated kids hip hop group Alphabet Rockers, who will provide music at the event. Lauren’s mom own’s Jennys Churros, who will supply the hot beverages and churros for the fundraiser.
Volunteer support will be generously provided by teenagers from Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula Keystone, the premiere teen character and leadership program. Grateful for the leadership support from the church, special shine on: Pastor Jacqueline Duhart and Stefan Schneider, Director of Joyful Noise Band.
Special thanks to Remezcla and LatinLive for lifting up the work of these girls, and to Berkeleyside, The Daily Californian and NBC Bay Area for covering us last week (see story here): https://www.facebook.com/alphabetrockers/videos/2248272052111108/
