The 8-year-old with a big smile and a wiggly tooth spent a day at the Banks Student Life Center at Misericordia University raising money to help needy children through Heifer International. ; remiah is a second- er at Allied Services ePaul School in Scranton. He lives on the Misericordia campus with his mom who participates in the Women with Children program there. The program sup- ports single mothers with young children so the moth- ers can attend college. a health care management major and minor in geron- tology. Jeremiah got the idea when he and his mom attended a hunger dinner on campus and were shown a video about hungry chil dren. “I was shocked!” Jeremiah said of what he learned from the video. “Lots of kids died.” Jeremiah’s immediate idea was to box up food and send to children in need but his mom guided him into donating to Heifer International, a program which provides training and livestock to poverty-stricken families. The livestock given by Heifer International provide erty. The program is self- sustaining. For each animal received, families agree to pass on the offspring of that animal to another person in need. In that act, families become the cycle of positive change. According to Heifer International, there are some places where 22 gen- erations of Heifer animals can be traced. Jeremiah’s favorite sub- ject is math and he had drawn a poster with a big thermometer with his goal amount and colored it in as the day progressed. His goal was to raise $850 so that he could buy a camel. Heifer International pro- vides a scale of gift dona- tions.

The four charisms of Misericordia are mercy, service, justice and hospitality. Pohlidal said the children in the Women with Children program experience a ripple effect. “We encourage our moms to perform commu- nity service every semes- ter. And the kids are influ- enced by this and want to help and give back as well.” Board to hold all 2014 meetings at high school the board appointed Christopher Gerlin as Indoor Percussion Advisor while accepting with regret the resigna- tion of David Gambal, the previous advisor.
