A Davis fourth grader’s philanthropic endeavor is helping start a library in a poor African village.
The children with the angelic voices in Shelley Chappell’s music class has someone new to live up to.
Yes, they’re very fond of the nice lady whose fingers dance over the keyboard, but the new object of their blossoming respect is actually a fellow student.
Meet Zane Pickus, 9, a friend to many and a philanthropic phenom at North Davis Elementary School.
“It feels good to help others,” he said.
He did a lot of cleaning, dog walking, watering, and weeding to raise nearly $500 to send 3,000 donated books to help start a library in a village in Botswana. More + video...
