A supporter’s gift of education helps kids believe anything is possible

Watch to see the power of what education can inspire

As kids around the world return to school after lockdowns due to the pandemic, we wanted to share the following video from Parkway Schools in Missouri, which is a good reminder of why the education our sponsors make possible matters so much.

In the video kids and teachers share their hopes for the school year, and the teacher’s responses remind us why it’s so important to break barriers so more children can go to school. They hoped: “Kids know anything is possible,” and to lift kids up to reach their dreams.

A big thank you to our supporters who do just that by supporting thriving communities, advancing child rights and protection, promoting equality for girls and partnering with children for change, so kids can access education and reach their dreams.

Watch the video below to see the difference an education can make, and sponsor a child today to make a lasting impact.
