A group of St. Thomas students, led by senior Amanda Leaveck, have decided to face the lack of education in third world countries. They will devote their talent toward raising money to build a school in India.

The group is organizing a fundraiser, which will include art, fashion, dancing and singing, at 9 p.m. April 21 at First Ave. in downtown Minneapolis. The show is called, “Face Forward – Humanity Through Art.”
