RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 36: Generous and charitable - A nice combination

in Weekend Experiences4 years ago

I am an elementary school educator, and if I had that $100,000 (which I have wanted more than once for this) I would create a scholarship plan so that the neediest children would not have to drop out of school just because they do not have the resources to attend.

This breaks my heart when I see that some of my students don't even have enough to eat during recess hours.

Invito a @alucar55 a participar.

You raise an interesting point about not eating at school. Here there are school programs to feed kids before class because their parents do not do it. The teachers all put in $5 a week from their own funds to buy cereal, milk and some fruit to feed those kids. It's not always due to lack of funds on the parent's part either, sometimes it's lack of care-factor.

This would be a good use of the funds and I'm not surprised as a teacher you would choose this use.

Thanks for dropping in.
