"Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily." --Sally Koch

Wave of Aid

Inspired by the fundraising power of the neon yellow "LIVESTRONG" wristbands sold by the Lance Armstrong Foundaton, two Monta Vista High School students figured they could raise $5,000 selling wristbands -- bright blue ones inscribed with "WAVE OF AID" at $2 each -- to help a relief organization build a home in India for children orphaned by the Asian tsunami. Just a week after nearly selling out from campus sales, the students are planning to restock and launch an e-commerce web page to expand their efforts.
