Hello, the 8th grade teachers are fundraising for our students at the Academy for Young Writers, a school in the heart of East New York, Brooklyn where dreams often collide with economic barriers. These students, hailing from low-income backgrounds, have faced countless challenges, especially during the relentless grip of the pandemic. Yet, despite the adversity, they refuse to let go of their aspirations, including the dream of a community building trip in the wilderness. This experience is uncommon for them living in the inner city and will provide unique and memorable experiences. We appreciate any monetary donations. -Thank you in advance, AFYW teachers.
