Changing Lives through Education!

Donation protected



Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to introduce you to my son, Roland Pope, an exceptional individual whose dedication to education and equity has led him on an inspiring journey. I am seeking your support to help him achieve his ambitious goals.

Roland Pope, my beloved son and a native of Memphis, TN, is a remarkable individual who has overcome numerous challenges to reach the pinnacle of his educational journey. After graduating with high honors from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, where he majored in English, Roland's passion for education led him on a transformative path.

His commitment to making a difference took him to South Korea, where he taught English and created a groundbreaking program that connected Korean students with their peers in Australia through live video interactions. Roland's innovation and dedication were evident as he tirelessly worked to bridge cultural divides and create meaningful educational connections across borders.

Advocating for Equity and Change

Roland continued to make waves as he moved to Brooklyn, NY, where he held pivotal roles as a dean of students, math and biology teacher, and principal. Under his leadership, the academic, staff culture, and student culture goals of the community were successfully met, leaving an indelible mark of positive change.

Roland is now pursuing the prestigious Global Executive Doctoral program at the University of Southern California (USC), focusing on learning policies and practices from around the world to better serve low-income communities in America. This groundbreaking initiative will take him to countries like Brazil, South Africa, Finland, and Qatar, where he will gain insights to foster equity and transform schools in underprivileged areas.

Your Support Matters

I am reaching out to you today with an earnest request for your support. My son's unwavering commitment to education, equity, and positive change has earned him a coveted spot in this program, but he needs financial assistance to fully realize this extraordinary opportunity.

Your generous contribution will directly fund Roland's international travels, research, and studies, enabling him to bring back invaluable knowledge and strategies to uplift disadvantaged communities in the United States. Your support will contribute to the advancement of equitable education, empowering generations to come.

As Roland lives by the quote, "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it's faced," your contribution will be a tangible embodiment of the change we seek in the world.
