David Oginga, direc- tor of Furaha Communi-
ty Foundation, recently visited Reedley to meet with leaders and sup- porters of "When I Grow Up" and had the chance to see Taves’ art for the first time in person.

St. La Salle Catholic School in Reedley went GOLD for Child- hood Awareness Month.
Accroding to reports, child- hood cancer is made up of over a dozen different types and count- less subtypes. Cancer in children can begin virtually anywhere in the body. The causes of most types of childhood cancer are not known and are not strongly linked to lifestyle or environmen-
tal risk factors, unlike many adult cancers.
Reports also indicate that re- searchers are beginning to under- stand some of the genetic muta- tions that might cause certain types of childhood cancer and use that information to search for cures.
"We honored one of our stu- dents who is currently battling Leukemia," said Sister Lucy Cas- sarino. "Each Student was asked to bring $1.00 on September 25th
to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. students that brought $1.00 was asked to wear blue jean pants and a yellow shirt on September 25th."
Participants then created a big yellow ribbon with the entire school to show support for chil- dren who have or have had can- cer.
Students will also be dedicated the Adoration prayer for children who are or have been affected by childhood cancer.
