We now have our sights set on even greater things at this and other schools, we have visited this school and know that this fence is just one of the hundreds of pressing needs there: the roofs are falling apart, kids are learning sitting on the floor, there are multiple classes taking place in one small space...and so on and so on..... With your continuous support, we can make a difference in the lives of these kids and give them hope of a better tomorrow, please visit www.unitedforkidsfoundation.org/support.htm today to choose the most convenient means of sending your donations to us and please spread the word, this news is too hot to keep to yourself!
