Your help funding this project gave the students the confidence boosts to believe that they are worth it and can accomplish whatever they put their minds to including math. They realized that with a goal set before them and determination they could and did reach their motivation. We appreciate all your donations which made this project possible. It has helped the students become more engaged and excited about math. It also enabled most to overcome their fear of failure to succeed. They now have a newfound love for the subject which they once loathed. Thanks again for all your support and we hope that your support will continue.
