Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My school is located in Elmhurst, Queens New York. It first opened its doors in September 2013. My students come from all over the world. Most of them come with no English skills, but with an enormous desire to learn and build a better future for themselves and their families.

Living here without their parents/guardians means that besides the struggle of learning another language, there will be a financial struggle as well.

My students care for their education, their future, but they struggle with making it through the day barely eating.

The Coronavirus situation that has impacted the entire world has made my students' situation even more challenging. Many families find it difficult to get through the day. Parents have lost their jobs, not getting paid and even many of them are feeling ill. Please help with as little as you can.

My Project

The after the pandemic period has been a time to restore and get back to normality somehow. It has been challenging even though students want to feel good and forget about what happened during the pandemic time.

Students will use everything to sit in a circle and use a couple of minutes to do mindfulness exercises as well as talk to each other sharing about their mental health.

Pillows will make a difference in how they talk to each other as well as support. My students need your help so please support them with what you can.
