In Canada, we are blessed with a commitment to education and to supporting education through government policies (such as taxation). While we often complain about the high cost of taxes, imagine if we had to raise our children in places or countries where there was no, or limited, access to education and the resources (such as schools, classrooms, libraries, teachers, technology, and more) necessary to teach, and to learn.
Our organization, Empowering Hands Helping Global Minds, is dedicated to helping on a local and global level. We believe it is important to support and to give back to society and to communities and families around the world. We cannot help everyone. But we can work to improve access to education one classroom at a time.
Learning in a ‘Real’ Classroom
Our 2019 fundraising project is for the Dilkusha School for Girls in Fiji. We are working hard to raise funds to build a new classroom for this school.
You can see by the image of one of the existing classrooms at Dilkusha, that the school and the students are delighted to work creatively with what they have. We’d like to help by supporting their efforts to educate and develop.
To contribute by donating to the society, or by participating in our fundraising activities, please contact us – we’d love to hear from you – and we’d love to share our passion for this project.
