Teenager Eric Niles Helps Teens in Uganda

shames — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 17:26:08 +0000

L.E.A.D Uganda received a $3,600 award from The Foundation For Jewish Philanthropies Teen Tzedakah Fund.

The effort to have L.E.A.D Uganda receive a donation was led by participant Eric Niles, who is the son of Dr. Charles and Ellen Niles. Eric has been aware of his parents’ involvement with L.E.A.D for a few years, and he wanted to do something on his own. Eric’s excellent presentation on behalf of LEAD resulted in the leadership program receiving the largest amount to a single agency.

The Teen Tzedakah Fund is a program designed to teach Jewish teens to embrace charity as a lifelong value. The seventeen teenage participants allocated $15,000 to Jewish and Non-Jewish agencies. Each participant gave a presentation to the entire panel regarding their favorite charity. The entire group then voted for the most deserving agencies, and how much money would be given to each.

Eric also collects used and new books from friends and family members, and sells them online in a bookstore he has created on Amazon.com. He has donated $450 from those proceeds to L.E.A.D Uganda. Eric is an outstanding young man, and we are proud to have him as a supporter.
