Carney kids have a dream Fundraising for Haiti school earns grant By Diane Strandberg THE TRI-CITY NEWS

“You just feel you did something.” Karissa Lodewyke
Karissa Lodewyke and Sophie Reinhart, a pair of soon-to-be high school graduates, are heading out to the big, wide world but have already made a difference with their fundraising and charity efforts. The two Grade 12 students in Chris Seppelt’s Global Stewardship class at Archbishop Carney regional secondary school inspired their classmates to raise $4,250 to build a school in Haiti and were rewarded with a matching Big Dreamers Award for a total $8,500. “I had to pull the p h o n e aw a y f r o m my ears because of the screaming,” said Reinhart, who was the first to learn of the award two weeks ago and called her friend with the news.
“You just feel you did something,” said Lodewyke about the efforts to help the earthquake-stricken country. But the students say the fundraising wasn’t all their doing. Fellow Carney students jumped on board, helping organize a fair trade bake sale, a jeans day, a school dance and a pep rally for the effort. The students were inspired by a We Day rally in October and decided to channel their social responsibility efforts to Haiti because it seemed the most needy. “We Day [sponsored by Free the Children] got the ball rolling with how and what the money can go toward,” said Lodewyke. And the efforts to make a difference in the
world won’t stop there. The two spent spring break working with disadvantaged children in New York City’s South Bronx and plan to return next spring while Reinhart will be volunteering at an orphanage in Ghana this summer. School plans include International Studies
at SFU for Lodewyke and Capilano College’s Global Stewardship program for Reinhart. They have the world yet to explore but for the two of them, making a difference for others is their mantra. Said Reinhart: “Every little bit you do makes you want to do more.”
