But there is much to be done...
The current situation of education in the face of this new reality continues to call for help. This very important responsibility concerns us all, and it remains. We seek to continue supporting communities and individuals, implementing solutions to the basic needs of this world.
Would you like to help us expand our services this 2023? Currently, we have several children, youth, adults, and seniors on the waiting list who are ready to start once they are given a helping hand through a scholarship which would not be possible without your help.
We invite you to join our $23 campaign for 2023, where you can make a single or monthly donation. Your help will make a big difference in the lives of many.
