Emma and her 35 third and fourth grade classmates at Blue Lakes Elementary School gathered Sunday morning, May 1st at Build-A-Bear Workshop in the Falls Mall to not only have fun but to share with children at Sunil.s Home Orphanage in India. Build-A-Bear donated 50% of proceeds to help advance these children’s dream to help other children less fortunate in a small town in India. Under the guidance of Miss Miller and Miss Cuervo and Ody Trapaga (Emma’s Mom), Emma and her friends made a large donation to Mom Lynn who, along with Rod Hildebrant and Matthew Meehan, personally oversees the orphanage, a project that has had Emma’s attention since Kindergarten.
