Hilton seventh grader Jacob Young raised the most money during the Every Drop Counts Service Learning Project to benefit Ugandan Water Project (UWP). Jacob raised $367 of the $3,240 donated by friends of the Merton Williams Middle School community. The money will be used to bring clean water to a school in Uganda. As a thank you, Jacob received a wooden map of Uganda, a UWP t-shirt and bracelet. To raise money, Jacob presented information about the project at his church, St. George’s Episcopal Church in Hilton, and then made a box to collect donations. He is shown here with Principal Marc D’Amico.
