My Project

I am writing on behalf of the vibrant Somali community at our school, where our dedicated students pour their creativity into their art class masterpieces.

We are currently facing a shortage of Sharpie markers, a crucial tool in our daily artistic endeavors.

These markers play a significant role in outlining and enhancing the beauty of our students' work. We kindly request your support in providing additional Sharpie markers to ensure that our artistic talents continue to flourish.

Additionally, I have observed that one of our students is in need of a coat. As the weather gets colder, it is essential to ensure the well-being of all our students. Your assistance in providing a warm coat for this student would be greatly appreciated.

By addressing these needs, we aim to create an environment where our hardworking students can fully engage in their artistic pursuits without any hindrances. Your consideration of our project is immensely valued.

Thank you for your time and support.
