Back to School During the Pandemic

It is interesting to see how during times of crisis, the cliché of “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer” seems to become very true. During the last six months, the life of the poor in Romania has indeed reached a new low. On the premise of isolation and social distancing, many families now have little to no income. With the uncertainty of what school will look like when they open on September 14, the hopelessness of many families grows. It is simple math, how can you think of school supplies when you have no food on the table? Along with the pressure of COVID-19, they will also need to have extra items such as masks, disinfectants, and hygiene supplies. Many children and low-income families will have no solution to this problem, forcing them to abandon school.

We can be God’s tool providing hope for these children. We can supply a backpack with school supplies and the much-needed hygiene and protection items for only $20 per child.

Please consider making a difference for one of the children in our feeding program or a poor family by donating toward the We Care Project.
