🌟 Real change happens when we work together I recently had the privilege of attending the Annual Concert of Slum Kids School, an event that left a profound impact on my heart and soul. Organized and managed by the dedicated team of Vanchit se Charchit (IFC), this concert was not just a celebration of talent, but a testament to the transformative power of education and compassion 💪Resilience and Determination: Despite facing unimaginable hardships, the students of Slum Kids School radiated joy, confidence, and an unwavering belief in their own potential. 😇Holistic Support: IFC provides more than just education; they offer nutritious meals and skill development programs, ensuring the well-being of every child. 👫Unity and Solidarity: From teachers to volunteers, everyone came together as a unified force, driven by a shared mission to create a better future. 🌈 Empowering Education: Education isn't just about knowledge; it's about empowering individuals to overcome adversity and pursue their dreams. 👭Compassionate Community: Real change happens when we work together with kindness, empathy, and a commitment to helping others. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible journey. It has reaffirmed my belief in the power of education to break down barriers and unlock doors of opportunity. But more than that, it has reminded me of the importance of kindness, empathy, and the simple act of reaching out a helping hand to those in need.

For students interested in ending student homeless in their communities who want to start their own club at their high school, consider starting an EEqual chapter. There is no deadline so ignore that part of the photo. Here is the information about how to start one: Chapter Establishment Process EEqual chapters are youth-run clubs dedicated to ending student homelessness within their communities! To get started, students between 8th - 12th grade will need to select an adult sponsor. Depending on their community availability, this can be a teacher, counselor, or parent. Once a sponsor is selected they are invited to submit an EEqual chapter application on our Chapters Website. After receiving their application, we will schedule a 30-minute Zoom meeting with the student to share more information about EEqual, chapter expectations, and what to expect as an established chapter. Finally, after this meeting, we will send out a Chapter Agreement via DocuSign for the chapter president and adult sponsor to complete. This agreement is not legally binding or scary by any means. It simply describes the chapter's rules of conduct and acts as a loose commitment to act accordingly as a chapter. Once completed, the chapter will officially be established! The process is free of fees or any monetary expectations. After the Chapter Establishment Process After the chapter establishment process, EEqual chapter presidents will receive a welcome kit that includes a Chapter Binder with resources to get started as a chapter and EEqual swag. Then, every two months (quarterly) chapter presidents will be mailed a curriculum and service project to work on! These service projects are more guidelines than mandates and, if a chapter president has another idea for a service project that would better impact their community, they are welcome to engage with any form of community impact they wish. The EEqual chapter team will be available to offer support in every phase of the chapter life cycle ensuring chapter members have a successful chapter experience! Chapter members will also be invited to, but not required to attend, EEquals virtual events including professional developments, chapter meetups, and more.

Despite his young age, Kevin has had a traumatic life. Following the death of his dad, Kevin’s uncles treated him, his siblings and mum badly, resulting in them being forced out of the family home. They moved in with their grandmother who sadly passed away soon after. All of this, in addition to their mum facing health challenges, has made it impossible for them to afford all their basic needs such as education, food and clothing. By sponsoring Kevin’s education for £35 per month, you will be giving him the chance to attend and complete primary, secondary and tertiary education. 100% of your support will go towards his public-school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals and stationery. You will receive an end of year school performance and general update along with a photo from us. Please email info@gathimbaedwardsfoundation.org if you are interested in supporting Kevin, or to find out more about this campaign and the work GEF do follow the link in the comments below 🔗 #12days12futures #Day5

KABOOM!, with our partner the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, is thrilled to celebrate the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) as our newest partner in the 25 in 5 Initiative to End Playspace Inequity. Together, we are working to address an urgent need in Oakland – kids are not getting the play they need to thrive. In Oakland, only 19% of boys and 9% of girls receive at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity. One of the barriers is inequitable access to quality playspaces, which is a reality across the country, especially in Black and brown communities. As you can see from the video of one of our earlier playspace transformations at Franklin Elementary School in Oakland, we have been working with OUSD to renovate 15 next generation schoolyards in Oakland since 2021. Through the 25 in 5 Initiative, KABOOM! and OUSD will deepen our work together to create even more new playgrounds, sport courts, teaching gardens, outdoor classrooms, and murals with 25 more schools, providing more than 10,000 students per year with quality active play opportunities at daily recess and before and after school.

Seeds of Change. In a town where dreams lay dormant, a once-vibrant community center stood abandoned, its walls cloaked in wild vines and its spirit seemingly lost. The building, much like the hopes of the children in the area, had been neglected for years. One day, a group of passionate educators from the Welicar Educational Centre https://lnkd.in/gh3j3pV visited the site. They saw not decay, but potential. “This place can be revived,” one teacher declared, envisioning a hub of learning and growth. With determination, the team began to clear the overgrowth, revealing the hidden beauty beneath. As they worked, local children watched with curiosity, their eyes lighting up at the sight of adults transforming the forgotten space. Inspired, the children joined in, pulling weeds and planting seeds—both in the soil and in their hearts. The educators began to teach them about nature, teamwork, and the importance of nurturing their environment. Together, they painted murals that told stories of hope, unity, and the power of education. As the days passed, the center blossomed into a lively community hub, filled with laughter, learning, and friendship. It became a safe space where children could explore their potential, share their dreams, and support one another. The once-abandoned building now stood as a beacon of hope, reminding everyone that, like the vines that had once overtaken it, growth often comes from the most unexpected places. The Welicar Educational Centre had not only revived a structure but had sown the seeds of change in the hearts of many. Through education and community support, they turned a forgotten corner of the world into a flourishing garden of opportunities, proving that with dedication, love, and collaboration, anything is possible. #SeedsOfChange #EmpowerThroughEducation #CommunityRevival #NurturingFutureLeaders #TransformingLives #EducationForAll #HopeInAction #GrowingTogether #CultivatingDreams #SupportLocalEducation #BuildingBetterFuture #NatureAndNurture #TogetherWeThrive #InspiringChange #WelicarEducationalCentre

PASSION PROJECT: Empowering Visually Impaired Children I am deeply passionate about helping visually impaired children build brighter futures. Everyday, I see firsthand how even the smallest acts of kindness can transform lives. Imagine this - with just 100 AED per month, an amount many of us spend on a single meal or a quick outing — we can make a profound difference in the life of a child who needs it most. For us, this might be just another expense. But for these kids, it’s a stepping stone towards education, independence, and a life filled with possibilities. It funds crucial resources like Braille books, learning tools, and support programs that empower them to overcome challenges and unlock their full potential. A small support from us can mean the world to them 🌟 PS: This is a simple bookmark given by our sponsored child who is almost graduating college - Airex!

Game changer in so many ways
