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

The specific goal for this project is to provide hygiene products to students in need. I need help creating a safe place for them to receive the items they need without embarrassment.

So many students are responsible for seeing themselves off to school, don't have what they need to properly groom, or lack the knowledge on how to properly groom.

Many students can benefit from deodorant, vaseline, a hairbrush, comb and feminine products just to name a few things.

I want to create a comfort corner for them to receive these things upon need at school. School should be a safe place for all to feel comfortable. Behavior and academics can improve due to this need being met. Students won't have to worry about feeling insecure or being bullied by others. Instead, they can feel comfortable, confident and loved.
