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 Project

Our young people come from low-income families, and they are growing faster than what then ever. We want to make sure we can teach them about personal care. It's important to teach our young people out taking care of their persona.

Teaching them Hygiene from K to 6 is a must for us.

Any assistance than we can get to create hygiene kits will be greatly appreciated. At times, simply products like these are taken from granted. Your help will come along way. Thank you in advance for making this project a reality.
