School is starting soon, not only for refugee kids, but for refugee adults attending much needed English classes. We provide incentives to many of these families. Adults attending 16 hours or more of classes with our partners can get a kit. We also need basic items for teens.

We love knowing there is a boost of confidence for these kids when they slide on their backpacks and set out on their first day of school. THANK YOU! 🙏🏼♥️🎒 📚
