Lunch on Us: Roses in Concrete
Donation protected
We have had the honor of working with Roses In Concrete Community School well before their doors opened in August of 2015. From the moment we met the founder, Dr. Jeffrey Duncan-Andrade and the entire board of directors, we knew in our hearts this place would be magical and transformative, not only for the students and families, but for our team and the community at large.
We have been blessed to document the stories of the students, their hopes and dreams, their passion for community and social justice, and become inspired by their vision for a more just and hopeful world.
As a small token of appreciation for the love we've received and the hope that is restored every moment we step on their campus, we wanted to support where we felt we could make an impact.
Late last year, our colleague and collaborator, Heather Quintal from Teaching Excellence Network (10teaching.net) was inspired by Ashley C. Ford 's fabulous idea of individuals and organizations reaching out to their neighborhood schools and paying off any unpaid lunch debt for students and families. We were able to raise funds then and we wanted to continue with the effort.
Please consider making a donation and ensuring that our youth don't ever have to worry about receiving a fulfulling meal at school. They can continue focusing on transforming our world and becoming healthy, happy, connected, and empowered agents of social change.
Your donations and support means a lot to us.
With a full heart,
Glenda and Johnny and the UpperCloud team.
