In an effort to help those in need, nursing students from Omaha’s Clarkson College will be participating in a community service project for the Lakota Community and Pine Ridge Reservation. Clarkson College will be partnering with Iktome Ska Foundation for this project. Through this partnership, the students discovered that the infant mortality rate is significantly above the national average. Therefore, the students with the help of the Iktome Ska Foundation are putting together Welcome Baby! Kits for prospective mothers and those with infants. Each Welcome Baby! Kit includes: bottles, blankets, binkies, baby hygiene products and more. Each kit costs around $20 to make.
To help fund this service project, the Iktome Ska Foundation Board and the Clarkson College students will be holding a fundraiser at Louis Bar and Grill, located at 5703 Northwest Radial Highway on Saturday, March 13. 10% of the bar proceeds from 7:00-9:00 pm will be donated towards this service project. There will be live music from 7pm-1am and a raffle. If you can’t make it and would like to help, please go to their blog at http://welcomebabykits.blogspot.com/.
