Summary

So often, we help families after their loved ones have been killed. THIS IS DIFFERENT.⁣
⁣
We are going to help send HUNDREDS of students from Brooklyn, New York on a life-changing 6-week study abroad experience. ⁣
⁣
We have to raise the funds for passports, flights, lodging, ground transportation, and more. ⁣
⁣
In 2018, Ember Charter School in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, took over 100 students and staff to South Africa for an unforgettable 6-week study abroad experience. The intention was to repeat this trip every two years to continue to expose our students to the benefits of studying abroad. However, the pandemic interrupted global travel, and now financial constraints threaten to halt the program altogether. We just CAN’T allow this!⁣
