The Challenge

As the New Year unfolds it is well worth considering the plight of others in need as well as the demands made of school children and their teachers. This isn't a small point or one that ought to be dismissed.

The normal rigors of the education day persist as they always have. What is different in 2017 is the fact that greater demands and challenges are confronted by both students and staff. Make no mistake about it, both groups have to accept the various challenges.

Today, students and teachers are confronted with more complex issues; new evaluations, a myriad of technological changes, more rigorous standardized testing, higher demands made of students, and so very much more. I mention all of this in light of changes in school structure, financial considerations and critics of public education.

All of this makes it all the more vital for our charity to continue to assist children, schools and staff going forward. As always we will do our best to help those suffering the effects of various calamities.
