Umbrellas may become a stock item in the charitable giving basket if this trend continues . . . According to the
San Antonio Express-News, District 5 Councilman David Medina Jr. distributed 500 colorful umbrellas to an assembly of elementary school-aged children at JT Brackenridge Academy.
“Today is a rainy day as many winter days are in San Antonio and a large number of families in this disadvantaged community cannot afford to purchase umbrellas for their children,” Medina said.
Medina added, “When it rains, the children get drenched on their way to and from school and often get sick as result. We want to do our part to assure the children stay healthy so they can think clearly and absorb what they are being taught.”
