My Project

Imagine you and your kids are eating a delicious meal like a sloppy joe, which also happens to be messy. You look around but there is no sink nearby to clean your hands. That is our current circumstance at our preschool.

At our preschool, we are embarking on an exciting initiative that we believe will significantly impact the well-being and learning experience of our young learners -the introduction of portable sinks in our cafeteria and media center.

The primary goal of this project is to create a safer and more enriching learning environment for our students. Hygiene plays a pivotal role in the health and development of young minds. The cafeteria, a hub of collaborative activities and shared meals, and the media center, a haven for imagination and creativity, will soon be equipped with these sinks to facilitate seamless and accessible handwashing. In conclusion, here at out preschool, we aim to promote a sense of community and shared responsibility for cleanliness in common areas. We are reaching out to generous supporters to make this vision a reality.
