Hi everyone! For the past year, Alina became involved with a 501c non-profit called Thinking Huts as their Vice Chair and Secretary of the Board of Directors. This is a fully volunteer position, investing time and resources, because we believe so strongly in their mission.

For Patrick's milestone birthday and the girls' birthdays, we are choosing to give back in a way that is deeply meaningful to all of us. The girls volunteered to forgo their birthday gifts in lieu of creating a safe environment for underprivileged communities and intellectually curious children to have a chance at a better life.

Thinking Huts is a groundbreaking nonprofit working to close the global education gap by building 3D-printed schools in underserved communities. They build the school infrastructure, desks, chairs, boards and more for children to learn in a secure environment.

Thinking Huts has been featured in Forbes, TIME, Good morning America and more. https://www.thinkinghuts.org/newsroom

Their latest project is to build a Honeycomb Campus in Madagascar - an interconnected school system that will serve multiple villages and transform countless young lives.

Education doesn’t just change a child’s life—it transforms families, communities, and entire nations. We hope you will join us in helping build a future where education is accessible to all!

Thank you for your support and helping this incredible cause. Your support helps Thinking Huts make a difference by contributing towards efforts like:

We can't think of a better gift.

With love and gratitude,

Alina, Patrick, Marisa and Madelyn.
