ROLLIN’ Alexandra Bissonnette Students of del Sol School in Manhattan Beach hit Santa Monica's Farmers' Market Wednesday to raise money for their project "Roll it Forward." The group of students, ages 9 through 13, aims to raise $27,500 to send wheelchairs to the over 1 million people in developing countries who need them. Production and delivery of just one of the pictured wheel chairs costs $50. As of Wednesday they raised $7,701. For more information, visit www.RollitForward.org.
