For the second year in a row, ACN students have been donating their recyclables to the ACN Peace Committee. ACN student and Peace Committee member Mia has been in charge of collection and recycling. Thanks to her hard work, the Peace Committee collected NOK 4113 for Midland Children Hope Project and their good work for street children in Zimbabwe!
