My Project

The middle school I teach at is located in a low income community. It is actually the same school I attended as a young girl in the late 1990s. Like me, most of my students are children of immigrants and migrants. Many students are refugees from Yemen and have had their education interrupted due to war and insecurity. They need headphones to help with translation. Books, pencils and other supplies are most needed to meet the students' most basic needs. We do not have a lot of money to buy supplies and our classroom is in great need. I believe with your geneous donation my students will be able to succeed in our math classroom and in return become productive members of our community.
