Swapna Naskar
SWAPNA NASKAR??? I'm sure you're all wondering who she is. Well, if you've been an active member of Key Club, then you probalby know who she is. But for those who are new....here's a little information about her. Two years ago, SVHS Key Club decided to sponsor a child through the Christian Children's Fund. We were chosen to be the sponsor of Swapna, who is from India. The first few months started out great, but after a while, we fell behind on our donations and even stopped writing to her. She was pretty sad when no one was responding to her letters. Here are a few of her letters that she wrote. If any on you are interested in writing to her, just give it to me, Emilie Poblete, and I'll be glad to mail it to her.
