Through “Child to Child: A Catholic Campaign to Aid Education,” the young people of the country’s Catholic educational programs joined with the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) initiative to collect dollar contributions from students locally to help children in areas ravaged by the storms and in other areas impacted by large numbers of evacuee students. By Dec. 8 the contributions totaled over $1,000,000 from 1,254 schools and religious education programs.
