At Lift the Lid, we love taking any opportunity to learn or create something new TOGETHER. We discussed how art evokes emotions when observed, and how creating art can help us to relax our minds. lift-the-lid.org

The National English Honor Society at Staples High School in Connecticut asked if their organization could work with Lift the Lid’s students on a cultural exchange project. Fantastic! We decided to start an online international book club. Our meetings have been thought-provoking, sincere, and a great opportunity for everyone to share their opinions and strengthen their speaking voices.

Here are highlights from a few of our discussions on “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes, and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost...

This news will make you happy, I promise!! I’ve known Stephano since he was in primary school and on the verge of being lost to the streets of Metro Manila. Now he is setting an example for the rest of our kids at the School in a Cart. Check out his story and some photos here! In two of the photos, he is serving food to others in need. www.lift-the-lid.org

Another great part of springtime is Lift the Lid’s annual writing competitions! Our three sponsored schools in Kenya, and Happy Family Children’s Village at The Small Things in Tanzania participate (over 500 students!) — and every year the students improve in their writing and then enjoy a fun celebration when they receive their feedback.

Gabriel and his twin brother, Gregory, both from Bomet, , are hardworking sophomores in high school, determined to make a better life for themselves, their siblings, and their community. Without our support, they would not be in school. They would not reach their goals, and their siblings and community would feel their hopelessness rather than share their hope.

These are just two of hundreds of students LTL helps stay in school and enhance their education every year.

Lift the Lid raised $41,000 of our $65,000 goal to complete a 10-classroom building, including a library and science lab, for Keneni Stars Academy, our primary school, in Bomet, Kenya. We’ve been building and expanding Keneni since 2020. We have 240 motivated children, who know an education is their only path out of dire poverty. The new building will allow us to educate 200 more!! www.Lift-the-Lid.org
