Web Presence Donates School Supplies
While recently interviewing a prospective client – a social services agency in southern Florida – the prospect mentioned that many children affected by last year’s harsh hurricane season will go to school this year without school supplies.
It soon occurred to me this situation wasn’t isolated; that there are hundreds of communities where children could not afford school supplies. Sure enough, a search at http://www.iloveschools.com/ revealed hundreds – perhaps thousands – of schools requesting school supplies and other items for their students in every state.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m irked by the reality that children in America do without school supplies because they cannot afford them. That answer simply isn’t acceptable to me.
Can we really afford to allow future generations to go undereducated? A single glance into today’s greatest issues demands otherwise. Life requires a broad foundation from which to gather sound solutions; and I have a feeling that begins with a box of crayons.
I won’t suggest that government is responsibile for providing future generations school supplies, nor will I suggest the families struggling to make ends meet are to blame; anyone who’s had to choose between milk and school supplies can relate. But that doesn't provide children the supplies they require to learn.
Friends, I’m asking you to join with me to ensure all our nation's children have school supplies. This August, Web Presence will donate 300 backpacks – packed full of school supplies – to families affected by hurricanes Ivan, Jeanne and Frances.
But that’s just the beginning. Next year and each year after, Web Presence will look to donate over 100,000 back packs natonwide, until all our students have the tools required to be successful at school.
The world faces many tough issues, but solving this one might eliminate many problems that result from under-education. The sooner we start, the better.
