My Project

As an educator, I am deeply committed to supporting all my students, particularly those who enter the classroom facing the challenge of language barriers. For these students, the emotional and educational hurdles they encounter can be overwhelming. Despite these challenges, they show incredible resilience and determination, working tirelessly to learn a new language and adapt to a new environment.

However, providing the right support from day one is essential to their success.

My goal is to ensure that these students and their families feel welcomed, supported, and empowered from the moment they step into the classroom. A key part of this is being able to offer language support, advocacy, and resources that help ease their transition and make them feel seen and heard.

With your generous support, I hope to provide resources such as bilingual materials, culturally inclusive activities, and additional support for students and their families. These resources will not only enhance their educational experience but also foster a sense of belonging, confidence, and pride in their unique journeys.

Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these students, ensuring they not only succeed academically, but also thrive emotionally in their new school environment.

Thank you for your support.
