Last week on Feb. 27, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit central Chile, devastating the lives of its citizens through its sheer destruction. Aid has been flowing in to help the Chile citizens, and the Junior World Affairs Council (JWAC) of Coppell High School has pledged to do their part through a T-shirt campaign called Poets on Shirts.
Each of the three T-shirt options features quotes from famous pieces of poetry, from Emily Dickinson to Dylan Thomas and Maya Angelou. Those who wish to buy can buy either one shirt for $15 or all three for $30. All proceeds will be given to the American Red Cross to help the relief effort in Chile.
To get a shirt of your own, you can talk to a JWAC member stationed outside of Student Services during all lunches or directly to Satvika Ananth, Daphne Chen, Priya Gupta, Viviana Trevino to place your order. For those who don’t go to Coppell, you can mail a check payable to Junior World Affairs Council, or cash to 1103 Cowboys Pkwy, Irving, TX 75063. E-mail [email protected] or [email protected] for more information.
As a side, why wouldn’t you want these shirts? On top of supporting a good cause, they look super cool. But I’m just saying.
