Molly Rivkin needs community help

This summer, Molly Rivkin, the daughter of Linda Richardson and Mitch Rivkin, Bonners Ferry, and a 2005 graduate of Bonners Ferry High School, is going to be working at a summer camp in the Ukraine called GLOW (Girls Leading Our World), and she's asking the community's help to make it possible.

For the past several months, Molly has been in the Ukraine as a Youth Development Volunteer with the Peace Corps. She works in a village school, leading after-school programs, teaching some English, healthy lifestyle classes, and sports, and the GLOW summer camp will help her continue her work.

"We will teach an awesome group of Ukrainian girls about leadership, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, and general empowerment fun," Molly said. "We are in the process of raising money to put the camp on and are looking for donations. I don't really like asking people for money, but I think this is a worthy cause. Would you be willing to publish a short blurb on your news site asking our community for small donations?"

Of course I would!
