My Project

I am seeking donations to help purchase fans for my classroom, as we often struggle with maintaining a comfortable temperature. The room gets extremely hot, and my students frequently express how difficult it is to stay focused and participate fully in class. While I do not have control over the school's air conditioning, I want to ensure that students feel safe and comfortable while staying active, without the fear of overheating or becoming too sweaty before their next class.

Additionally, I am hoping to create a more inclusive environment by providing a private space for my male students to change clothes.

Although the number is small, I believe every student deserves dignity and comfort, regardless of gender. A set of changing dividers would offer a simple but meaningful solution, helping me create a fair and respectful space for all. Your support in helping meet these basic needs would make a significant impact on my students' daily experience.
