Students at Busselton Senior High School in Busselton, Western Australia wanted to make a difference. They heard about the vulnerable children of the Kenyan slums and decided to get involved through assisting the Tenderfeet school.

These clever High Schoolers came up with a fun way to help. At their school, students are required to wear a uniform, but they decided to break the rules (with permission, of course).
In cooperation with the High School administration, a "uniform free day" was organized. The idea is that students would get fined on purpose by wearing regular clothes rather than their uniform, and the administration would use the fine money to go to charity.
It's not often High School students get to break the rules with the blessing of adults! As a result, over $300 US was raised, 100% of which will be used to improve the lives of Tenderfeet kids.
Below is a picture of the students who participated, along with longtime Tenderfeet friend, Craig Garratt, who helped organize the event. Thanks to Craig and the kindhearted Busselton students who made this happen!
