[Gocamino] High School students on the Camino.

[Rosina]

Is this a solicitation for the backpacks or for the money to buy them?  How can one find out whether the solicitor is legit? Is an independent verification possible?

 Hello you all,
 Some one just sent me the message below; while I am not, in any way,  
 vouching for its veracity, I thought I'd pass it along.

 High School Students on the Camino



 Hi, everybody. My name is James and I am a teacher in Oregon. I have  
 had the pleasure to take my students on various outings in the past,  
 most recently a 47 day bike ride across the United States. I now  
 have a new group of students interested in taking part in a new  
 adventure. I gave them several options and they quickly set their  
 sights on the Camino. Our school is in a high needs community in  
 Oregon and I want to make sure our students can go, regardless of  
 family income. They are working hard with fundraisers and other odd  
 jobs, but I was hoping to surprise them with some nice backpacks for  
 the trip. I know it is not much, but it is one less thing they have  
 to worry about.

 If you feel so inclined, please visit our project request on donorschoose.org

 Thanks and we look forward to setting off this summer!
