My Project

Reading is fundamental. With your help I can show disadvantaged scholars positive environments to bring creativity and confidence to their academic environment. Through your donation we become a team working to improve the odds and give new incentives to help students not just learn, but to enjoy learning. The bean bags will help us create a reading corner; as a reward for well performing scholars we give them a reason to aim high for new achievements. The bookshelf will help us highlight books that appeal to their interests, showing them new opportunities to not just read, but enjoy the experience. The paper trays will keep student supplies organized and accessible.
