Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am a life skills teacher. I am requesting funds to support my students' journey to learn skills in embroidery because most of them are very eager to learn and explore new skills. This activity could push them to greater heights by learning how to earn a living in the future. Again, help me empower my students with severe cognitive disabilities by funding our project to acquire an embroidery machine kit. With this equipment, they'll learn valuable embroidery skills, fostering independence and confidence. Your support will enable them to develop a livelihood skill, paving the way for a brighter, more self-sufficient future. Thank you for making a difference in their lives!"
