Pinwheel for Preventation
|
|
Every year during month of April, Northborough Junior Woman's Club (NJWC) club members plant over 450 pinwheels to commemorate National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Prevent Child Abuse America is the leading national organization that works solely to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation's children.
This year one of Boy's Scout Troop no.1 student Eshan Naik helped us get this project done single handedly with our volunteers. We thank Eshan for his service and dedication. You can see the Pinwheels at "American Legion" on West Main st, Northborough and at the corner of "Northborough Shopping Center" in Northborough, MA ”Pinwheels for Prevention” was launched by Prevent Child Abuse America to raise funds through the sale of pinwheels to educate people about the effects of child abuse and ways to prevent it. The hope is to engage all people in our society to act to prevent abuse and neglect from happening. Pinwheels represent hope, a call to action, and the bright and healthy future we want for all children. |
