BACK-TO-SCHOOL: LET’S SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN
September is here—the time of year when children return to school, often with new backpacks, shoes, and school supplies. Unfortunately, not every child will have the opportunity to receive new school essentials because of poverty and other challenges.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, students are also returning to school. However, the reality is very different from what we experience here in Winnipeg. Many parents face difficult choices because of school fees and challenging social and economic circumstances. Some parents may even have to choose which of their children they can afford to send to school.
Together for a Strong World Inc. is calling on community members to look out for families and children in their neighbourhoods who may need help with school supplies. If you can help, please consider supporting a child or family in need.
We also encourage you to support local organizations that work to support families, children, and newcomers in our communities.
Together, we can help build a strong, responsible, and hopeful generation.
