Elle's class fun raiser for Haiti

Elle's class put together a fund raiser to support Haiti victims. They had a bake sale, dunk tank, garage sale, and silent auction. They raised 15,000 Dirhams to give to Doctors Without Borders to medical care in Haiti. It was pretty darn cool! Our big day was on Souk day at school - a big garage sale of sorts. We rented a dunk tank, students took turns trying to dunk their teachers while we sold our junk and baked goodies. I donated a painting of mosques to the cause. It was a great thing to be a part of! Elle has such an awesome teacher this year.

Here is a picture of Elle's teacher in the tank. Safety isn't a top concern in the UAE... I was shocked that there wasn't a net. Luckily no on got hurt.
