These girls are students at Brentwood Christian School in Austin where I taught for 17 years. BCS sponsored a Money for Medicines drive to raise funds to purchase drugs for the Zambia Medical Mission pharmacy. They distributed pill bottles full of M and M's (Money for Medicines). Students were asked to eat the candy and return the bottle filled with money. The 700 students in preschool through 12th grade raised over $9,000! As you can see in the picture, much of that amount came in the form of nickels, dimes, and pennies. The shape of Zambia in the middle of the "continent" is formed from some of the leftover pill bottles.
