Student raises
funds for orphanages
 Huntington
University freshman Ben Swartz is selling necklaces to raise money
for orphanages overseas.
“I have known since
I was 16 that God was calling me to care for the orphans,” said
Swartz, a freshman nursing major from Botkins, Ohio.
Swartz said he had been praying for some time for a way to
raise money for this cause. Then one day someone showed him how to
make the necklaces he currently sells. He started wearing them, and
when others expressed interest in the necklaces, he decided to sell
them as a way to raise money for orphanages.
