"2-Help 500 African/Carib'n Students XL in STEAM"

I trust you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Valentine's Day. We thank you for donating and supporting us in our endeavors . Your contribution has made a significant difference in the lives of our students. For students, like Sabrina W, your contributions allowed her to press towards excellence and achieve it. With your monetary assistance we were able to support Sabrina as she navigated completing her 11th grade high school exams. We are proud to announce that Sabrina, who was once a struggling student a few months prior to her exams, in June and July, 2024, passed 8 subjects with 6 * A's and 2 * B's. She is now in grade 12 preparing for college.

With your last contribution of $434.48 in August 2024 for the Back Black campaign we were able to purchase school bags and supplies for approximately 32 students in the USA, Africa, and the Caribbean combined. 

As you may already know, last year, we hosted a gala. After our gala in April 2024, we were preparing for our first "New Beginnings" symposium where we planned to take our students and their parents from the USA, Barbados, Jamaica, Kenya, and Trinidad to Buffalo, New York to present their work. This was supposed to be a fun-filled experience of a lifetime for all of us. However, we were shattered to find out that we were not going to be able to implement our summer program because of an imposter. Yes, you heard me, we found out an imposter has been pretending to be us, solicited and retrieved funding in our name, IlluminXation Inc. Their actions have not only impacted our immediate ability to implement our "New Beginnings" program, but it has also impacted our ability to send purchased school supplies to our Kenyan students. Long-term we declare we are overcomers! 

During this GlobalGiving Little By Little Campaign, March, 25 - 28, 2025 we request your support and partnership to pursue and recover all! Our goal is to help our students unlock their full potential and discover their GENIUS (TM).
