My Project

I am requesting a variety of different Social-Emotional Learning books, cards, and other similar resources in order to build coping skills in my students.

The reason why these resources are needed is because Maui students have been through a community tragedy and are still affected by housing shortages and transience due to the recent wildfires that devastated our island.

Your donation will help support the students experiencing a sense of homelessness or those who have been displaced by the tragic events that occurred less than a year ago on our island.

Ms. Lema
Grades 9-12
  • Maui High School
  • Kahului, HI
  • More than a third of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 165 students.
