Nicaraguan
girl
touches hearts of Duanesburg students
Imagine not having
access to clean water, nutritious food or an education. This
is what life is like for nine-year-old Jany J Velazquez
Espinoza of Nicaragua. That is before members of Duanesburg
Middle/High School’s student council learned of Jany’s
plight and stepped in to help.
Since December, students have
been sponsoring Jany through World Vision, a Christian
humanitarian organization. Jany, her family and her
community benefit from one annual payment of $360, which
provides fresh water, healthy food, education, health care
and economic opportunities for an entire year.

Duanesburg
students run for Darfur
Several Duanesburg students
participated in a 5K Run for Darfur held at Vale Park in
Schenectady on Sunday, April 27. Proceeds from the race went
to the International Rescue Committee, a non-profit
organization helping victims of the genocide in Darfur,
Sudan.
"It was great to see our
athletes dedicate their energies to a worthy cause," said
social studies teacher Karen Kanarkiewicz.
In addition to the runners,
Duanesburg High School senior Nick Schiavone's band, Citizen
Genet, provided live music and donated one dollar from each
CD sale to the cause.
