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

Our public high school is in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, and all of our students are recent immigrants to the U.S., hailing from South Asia, Central America, West Africa, and East Asia, and other corners of the world. They represent a variety of different educational backgrounds, native languages, religions, cultures, and world views. What brings them together is a common eagerness to be at home in this country.

The majority of our students are from low-income families and many of their parents have lost their source of income during the COVID-19 shutdown.

This makes it especially difficult for our students to be prepared to start college in the fall. On top of economic stress, our seniors are battling isolation and the uncertainty of what comes next for them. With COVID-19 keeping us apart from each other, we need to support our students more than ever.

My Project

I have no doubt at all that we will see T. in the halls of Congress someday. A champion of justice and protector of those overlooked by society, T. has been a leader at our high school since day one. Originally from Haiti, T. has her eyes set on a career in government, where she will no doubt make the world a better place for us all.

Now she is heading to a prestigious 4-year college and needs a little helping hand to get her set up in style.

Please help us send her off to college with a tablet for typing notes in class, school supplies for her home office, and, yes, even a blow-drying hair brush because a woman this awesome deserves to feel amazing as she starts off her adult life.
