School Supplies for African Children

The international African Child Relief is pleased to inform the community that there is limited number of support for school supplies for our children whose parents may not be able to afford them. This help is limited and is made possible by network donors. Should anyone be interested, do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks and good luck to all the parents with kindergarden and elementary schools as well as high school students. It is that time of the year where we must accept to hand our kids to people that we may not even know and who most likely know very little about us and our children.
Remember that our kids are entering a totally new world of competition, challenges, but also opportunities.
It is up to us as parents and community members to get involved in the school systems and or to ask for support if for whatever reasons we can't be so that those of us who may be able to do so have a good knowledge of our kids' challenges or potentials. Let us be our brothers or Sisters Keeper as Barack Obama eloquentely echoed it last time.

It is no secret, many African children are struggling in schools, sometimes misunderstood, some time, misplaced dispropotionaly, sometimes with no after school help, some with unhealed emotional and psychological wounds.
Schools alone can't do it, parents alone can't manage, in fact some have no idea what to do.
Our collaboration and support is paramount for the future and success of our kids and community.

Thanks and God bless our community
