Putting the Fun in Fundraising |

Helena, Montana Community Children’s classes learn why fundraising begins with “fun”.
Why does fundraising begin with “fun”? Because with a little spark of creativity, fundraising for the Bahá’í Faith can be. This year, the Helena, Montana Baha’i Children’s Classes, ages 6-13, created fun and useful Ayyam-i-Ha cards to sell to their community as a fundraiser for the Kingdom Project – and learned something in the process!
They created cards that reflect the culture where the Bahá’í Faith originated, using an ancient Persian paper marbling technique to produce beautiful colors and swirls.
Not only did the Helena community receive wonderful cards to send to friends and relatives, their contributions will help to beautify the Mother Temple of the West, and will also help to build a most glorious Visitors Center on the Temple grounds. Thank you, Helena children, for your artistic endeavors!
