My Project

Located in beautiful Crown Heights, Brooklyn New York, my school is the second home for over 130 amazing individuals! My scholars enjoy learning and participating in extracurricular activities daily.

My students are pre-teens and teenagers who are learning how to practice proper hygiene and most of them need personal items to get them started.

These personal care essential items will make a difference in my students' hygiene care as it will give them the self-confidence to be around their peers when they are smelling fresh and also they won't have to worry about facing criticism and bullying.
