Back to school after summer vacation – what an exciting time for children as they look forward to their new classes, seeing friends and shopping for school supplies! Yet this is also a difficult time for many children. We believe every child deserves to go to school prepared to learn! God instructs us to help others and we are praying that he has put it on your heart to help these children. All donations will go to our partner schools.
