Special Need
We are in need of old fashion Cassette Tape Players. You can drop them off at East or West Campus at the Welcome Center. RAFT has received a donation of book kits with tapes for children. With the donated tape players, the refugee children will be able to read along with the tape. Electric tape players are needed, not battery operated ones. Contact Ruth Nelson for more information.
