It is vital that the younger generation are given the opportunity to become effective contributors and responsible citizens within the world they live.
Encouraging elementary school-aged students to think of others and take action to help those less fortunate is a hugely beneficial experience.
Elementary School children could get involved by having a bake sale or perhaps a non-uniform day, or could join HOPE supporters nationally by doing a balloon release to mark International Day for Street Children.
To get involved or for more information, please contact info@hopefoundationusa.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”41086″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1470993977933{margin-bottom: 22px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” spacing=”10″ c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”10″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-comments” add_icon=”true” title=”Host a School Talk” tab_id=”1469797704502-ca8519be-3824″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1469798695169{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Consider inviting a representative from The Hope Foundation to give a talk to your class or even whole school on the work we do.

Some ideas include: cake sales, non-uniform days, talent show, table quiz, jersey days, and Christmas carol singing.
The Hope Foundation would be happy to provide some literature for display and handing out on the day, including posters, leaflets, newsletters and information on child sponsorship.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-leanpub” add_icon=”true” title=”Teach a Lesson on… Water Sanitation / Child Labour” tab_id=”1469798751698-7301a4dc-8162″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Access to clean water is something most children in America take for granted. In Kolkata, with thousands living in slums children simply don’t have access to clean water. HOPE has however implanted a project which you can read more about here.
Child labor is a global issue, affecting 1 in every 7 children, which amounts to more than 200 children worldwide. Child labor can be anything from working in a factory, collecting rubbish, begging on the streets, or being forced to stay at home for domestic duties. Child labor is fueled by poverty, and by desperation. It robs a child of their human right to a childhood. It is physically and psychologically dangerous and a very difficult cycle to break. It is thought there are up to 60 million children in India affected by child labor.
