My Project

My co worker and I share a classroom in a school where students come from low income areas. We often notice that they smell and when asked about it we have found out many don't have the simple hygiene products needed.

We want students to enjoy coming to school and not feel self conscious because their breath smells because they don't have a toothbrush or they are embarrassed of body odor.

My co worker and I want to have a station in the back of the room where students can go to without asking and take simple things like chapstick, deodorant, toothpaste, hair ties, etc.
