It is a powerful resource that will foster empathy, encourage respectful conversations, and allow \r\nindividuals to find guidance and knowledge on the topics that matter most to them.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a truly inclusive library—a place where everyone is invited \r\nto learn, question, and connect.","fullyFundedDate":1763573714762,"projectUrl":"project/what-do-you-believe-in/9879049/","projectTitle":"What Do You Believe In?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C-J","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6948432_orig.png?crop=622,622,x0,y20&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704747592082","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6948432"},{"teacherId":6948432,"projectId":9887552,"letterContent":"We want to express our deepest gratitude for your invaluable donation of PLA filament!
