Take Me to Broadway

Help Us sent 18 children with a parent from failing schools that take part in the Hope Project and Project Let’s Read to see Broadway-Disney, The Lion King.

This campaign is to reward the children for showing great improvement in their reading skills/scores together with an overall progress in their academic studies during the 2009 school year.

Our goal is to raise $3600 by March 31, 2009 to sent these children to Broadway for the very first time.

Please support this campaign by donating to Change 1 Child.

Project Let’s Read takes place at a “need improvement, “public school in Brooklyn, NY. Many of the children in this school are special needs children and many more comes from foster homes. We want the children to know that we care about them and that they are loved. We will read to all children in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade and “put a book,” in each child’s hands.

On February 9, 2009, we returned to our focused school in Brooklyn, NY to conducted our Hope Project. This month we read Beatrice’s Goat. This is a story of a little Ugandan girl who wanted to attend school but could not because her family was not able to afford to pay the school fees to send her to school. The family received a goat and the little girl sold the goat milk. The money that the family earned from selling the goat milk was eventually enough to pay the little girl’s school fees and she was able to attend school. After reading we once again distributed books to each students.
