Decatur School Sends 800 Masks to Colombia | Atlanta News

When a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Colombia, a Decatur school community sprang into action. Inspired by a Spanish teacher whose family was safe but whose neighbors desperately needed N95 masks, the school’s G.E.N.T.S. mentorship group launched a 24-hour mask drive. Within a day, they collected over 800 masks — and even covered shipping costs. The masks were delivered to a donation center, ready to head to Colombia. The principal praised the students and staff for their swift, heartfelt response, proving that empathy and unity can turn a small school into a powerful force for global relief.
