My Project

I love it when a new student gets assigned to my bilingual class. My class is full of students from all over Latin America. Some of these students migrate and are facing challenges adapting to their new environments. Language barriers and the lack of essential hygiene products can significantly impede their progress. However, through the generous act of donating to my project, I can provide dictionaries and hygiene products to facilitate their integration and enhance their overall well-being. Dictionaries provide a comprehensive resource for students to explore and expand their vocabulary, aiding them in their academic pursuits. Hygiene products will significantly impact our girls' well-being and personal care.

Dictionaries and hygiene products foster a sense of belonging and inclusion amongst new students.

With these essential items, they will feel valued and supported by their new community and school. It cultivates an atmosphere of empathy and respect for all our students.
