Justice Rising Gala - Benefit for children of war

Nicole Watts shared at Church this past weekend about #JusticeRising = serving children of war.

JR believes education is the most powerful tool to effect lasting change in communities affected by war. Come 10/22, 5–9PM to their gala for all ages.

Engage the stories of the children featured in a photo exhibit & help in reaching our evening fundraising goal of $50,000.

Today, Justice Rising operates seven schools serving over 1,400 students. Over the next five years, we plan to build 40 more to reach nearly 6,000 at-risk kids. buff.ly/2gK3c24
