special needs students.

The Girls of Colour club raised the money during a Valentine's Day Dance at the Northlands Primary School.

The funds will go toward sending the special students to a summer camp at Canada's Windreach Farm -- a recreational facility for the disabled.

Each term, the 27 primary school girls strive to take part in either a community service project or fund raising event.

In the past, they have handed out food to the hungry and greeted homeless people on the streets.

"The girls really put a lot of effort into this,'' said club facilitator Natasha Dowling. "They are very conscientious about helping others and I am very proud of what they have done.''
