Valley award

Six year old Chelsea James, a student at Windsor Elementary School; got the nod for her efforts to help out families in Kenya.

Chelsea received a Paul Harris Fellowship Award by the Rotary Foundation for her support of the Roll Out The Barrel Trust, which delivers water barrels to families in drought-stricken areas.

A water barrel, which is rolled; and not carried, spares women and children from the daily chore of carrying water with only their body; which could weigh as much as them.

Chelsea got her own family to help raise $600, enough money to buy rolling barrels for 10 families.
