Pooja Reddy, a high school senior, and about 15 other students went looking for treats Saturday night. Not candy for themselves, but donations to the Trick or Treat for UNICEF program. Reddy organized the fundraiser after doing some Internet research “looking for a way to give back,” she told the Daily Times last week. UNICEF’s mission is to reduce the number of preventable child deaths in the world. The organization’s resolve is to “continue until no more children die needlessly, anywhere — until we get to zero” it says on its Web site. Reddy is also a member of the Scotties Offering Service group at Glasgow High School. It includes students who have joined together in an effort to make a difference within out community. They continue a fine tradition in Glasgow and Barren County of volunteerism, of giving to those who need assistance and of leadership. It’s always a good thing to remember those in need year round and to assist our neighbors who are less fortunate.
