HOMECOMING EVEN TAKING SENIOR PICTURES, BUT AS EUNICE ELLIOTT SHOWS US ONE LOCAL SENIOR ISN’T ONLY MAKING MEMORIES. HE’S ALSO MAKING A DIFFERENCE IT STARTED HERE ACTUALLY AT ALTAMONT IN SPANISH CLASS WHEN WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT PUERTO RICO AND THAT WAS THE FALL THAT HURRICANE MARIA HIT PUERTO RICO’S AND JUST LIKE THAT SHOW. BOYLE DID NOT JUST LEARN ABOUT THE DEVASTATION IN PUERTO RICO. HE WAS INSPIRED TO HELP. I WAS FORMULATING MY EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT AT THE SAME TIME. SO I KIND OF JUST WORKED OUT THAT I COULD USE LIKE THE SUPPORT SYSTEM OF THE EAGLE SCOUTS AND MY TROOP 76 TO HELP KICK-START THIS AID PROCESS IT DID MORE THAN JUST WORK OUT AFTER PROVIDING AID IN THE FORM OF WATER FILTERS NEWS OF SEAN’S EFFORT SPREAD TO PLACES LIKE VENEZUELA HAITI AND CUBA. THEY WERE LIKE WE HEAR THAT HAVE THESE FILTERS AND IT WASN’T LIKE A NATIONAL DISASTER KIND OF SITUATION THERE, BUT MORE LIKE AN INFRASTRUCTURAL PROBLEM CLEAN WATER IS SUCH A NECESSITY EVERYWHERE, BUT IN AREAS WITHOUT PROPER INFRASTRUCTURE OR AREAS RECOVERING FROM A NATURAL DISASTER PEOPLE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF CLEAN WATER AND THEY GO THROUGH EXTREMES TO GET IT. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE TO SPEND A VERY VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONTHLY RESOURCES ON EXPENSIVE GAS TO BOIL WATER INSTEAD OF ON FOOD ON CLOTHE ON THINGS LIKE THAT NOW, OH, IT HAS HIS SIGHTS SET ON PROVIDING AID TO THE BAHAMAS WHERE HURRICANE DORIAN CAUSE MASSIVE DEVASTATION. HE’S ALREADY SENT 25 FILTERS AT A COST OF $25 A PIECE THAT CAN LAST UP TO 10 YEARS TO THE REGION AND HAS A GOFUNDME SET UP TO HELP SEND EVEN MORE. I HAVE A GO FUND ME AND IT’S INSANE AT FIRST I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO RAISE 450 FILTERS AND THEN I HIT THAT WITH IN LIKE LESS THAN A WEEK. IT WAS 1252 $1,250 AND I ALMOST IMMEDIATELY GOT THAT GOAL. SO I DOUBLED IT. AND I THINK WE’VE ALREADY GOT CLOSE TO LIKE $2,000. SO I WENT AHEAD AND SET THE FIRST BATCH OF 25 FILTERS AND THEN I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE THE MONEY FROM THE GOFUNDME TO SEND MORE SEAN HOPES TO SUPPORT WILL TRANSLATE TO EVERYONE LEARNING HOW THEY CAN DO MORE. THERE’S RESEARCH BECAUSE I TWO YEARS AGO, I KNEW NOTHING AT ALL. I WAS JUST A KID IN SPANISH CLASS. AND SO I THINK THAT REALLY ANYONE CAN PROBABLY HAVE MORE IMPACT THAN I DO. THEY REALLY RESEARCH SEAN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE FIRSTHAND SO OF THE WATER FILTERS. HE SENT TO PUERTO RICO. GO ON A VISIT AND HOPES. HE’LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE BAHAMAS SOON. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING IF I COULD I HOPE SO I’MA HAVE TO W
