Viet teen helped raise $20k for homeless

A Viet teenaged student is among four who raised more than $20,000 for the homeless in Minneapolis-St. Paul, says the Star Tribune here.

The four students at Johnson High School spent the summer working on a fundraiser they started for Catholic Charities. Described by the paper as students who “have experienced poverty themselves,” the four are: Pang Lor, 17; Jayvin Miller-Murphy, 15; Sompos Mhul, 15, and Arthur Nguyen, 15.

Over the summer, the students spent days knocking on doors and carrying groceries to earn donations for St. Paul Project Homeless. They held a benefit dinner in late July, with the help of guidance counselor Dan Kennedy. By the end of July, they had raised more than $10,000.
