Care to Learn - Video
For thousands of kids in the Ozarks, school isn´t just a place for learning. It´s a shelter. A kitchen. A refuge from suffering. For these kids, hygiene needs go unmet. Meals are few. And clothes rarely fit. They come to school distracted by hunger and limited by embarrassment—their education an afterthought to survival. It´s for the courage of these kids that Care to Learn was created.
