Ever had a great idea but not enough resources to follow through? Well, my fifth grade students and I know the feeling. I am fortunate enough to work with a great group of gifted and talented students. We are a high poverty district with very limited resources.

Our students have been invited to enter a regional Business Expo. Their idea is to start a company, Funky Fraymz, to not only benefit our gifted and talented program but also an orphanage we have "adopted" in the Philippines. The company is required to submit a business plan and complete an interview process concerning the product. Funky Fraymz will take pictures with a digital camera, transfer them to a computer, use a Photo Shop program to frame the picture, and print for the consumer. They came up with this idea on their own and are very excited about it.

One problem though, we do not have a color laser printer needed for the project. The reason for a laser printer is because they will be set up at lunch, recess, and at other events offering their service. They have to be able to print quickly and efficiently in order to maximize their profit. Again, the profit will be equally split between our gifted program and the missionary orphanage. The kids are committed to helping these children. We are sending packages to them in December and in May. The money made from the Fraymz will enable them to go to the local store and actually buy the needed items themselves. This is an excellent opportunity for learning responsibility, caring for other, and business skills.

Your generous donation would make this possible. These kids do not have access to these kinds of resources. This is an awesome opportunity to show them how people who have worked their way into profitable positions, such as yourself, do take the time to give back to others. Thank you for your time and consideration.
