My Project
A donation of patio umbrellas will provide much-needed UV protection for students as they participate in outdoor gardening lessons. Gardening offers a valuable hands-on learning experience, allowing students to explore the science of plants, ecosystems, and the environment. However, prolonged sun exposure can lead to sunburn and long-term health risks. By offering shade, the patio umbrellas will create a safer, more comfortable space for students to engage in these educational activities. This donation ensures that students can fully enjoy and benefit from their gardening experience while staying protected from harmful UV rays, enhancing both their safety and learning.
