We Are Back In-Person
By Marsha Guerrier | Executive Director
![]()
Hello,
The school year has begun and we are back to in-person book readings and giveaways. In late September Joshua and I were invited to participate in the Downstate Hospital Community Healthy Lifestyle Fair. We donated 200 signed booked to the community in Brooklyn, New York. Josh read the book to his peers and also colored with them.
Additionally, we have two upcoming events. In honor of World Kindness Day Joshua is eager to present the book to the 1st grade class at his school in Queens, NY on November 15. And we are donating the Just As I Am Kindness book to another kindergarten class in Nassau County, NY.
I continue to seek partnerships with organizations to sponsor the virtual book readings. Your donations fully go towards the purchase of the book. Thank you again for your support and making this program a success.
Without the support of our community, the Yva Jourdan Foundation would otherwise not be able to provide the resources necessary for children in our community to thrive. Please continue to support us and thanks again for all that you are doing to support all nonprofit organizations especially at this unprecedented time.

Back to School Backpack Support
By Marsha Guerrier | Executive Director
We are happy to announce we will be partnered again with the Michaelle Solages the Assemblywomen for 22nd Assembly District in NY, where the foundation serves its community for our annual backpack drive. We have ordered backpacks and supplies to support 50 families in our community.
Many families in the area are still struggling dur to the ongoing pandemic and we wanted to help families by providing our them with the tools their young scholars need to have a successful schoolyear. We are thankful for the continued support of our donors and ask that you continue to support us by providing your donations.
Because without the support of our community, the Yva Jourdan Foundation would otherwise not be able to provide the resources necessary for children in our community to thrive during this school year. As our we find a way to get back to schools in the fall I hope to resume our reading experience, at the very least offering as a virtual supplement to the class.
Please continue to support us and thanks again for all that you are doing to support all nonprofit organizations especially at this unprecedented time.
Warm Regards,
Marsha Guerrier

Our Efforts Continue In These Challenging Times
By Marsha Guerrier | Executive Director
In the first half of the school year we continue to experience challenges due to the public health crisis. The Yva Jourdan Foundation provided an elementary class in the Uniondale schools with the Just As I Am Kindness book as a holiday gift. The class unfortunately went remote just before the holidays and will receive their gifts when they return to in person lessons. I will provide you with the images to assure you that we have continued our mission to provide elementary aged children in disadvantaged areas of Long Island our books.
Our virtual reading on World Kindness was rescheduled for the start of the new year as the class was impacted by a positive case. We will continue to remain in touch with our school teachers and principals to host virtual readings and distribute more books in the spring of this year. I continue to seek partnerships with organizations to sponsor the virtual book readings. Your donations fully go towards the purchase of the book. Thank you again for your support and making this program a success.
Without the support of our community, the Yva Jourdan Foundation would otherwise not be able to provide the resources necessary for children in our community to thrive. Please continue to support us and thanks again for all that you are doing to support all nonprofit organizations especially at this unprecedented time.
Warm Regards,
Marsha Guerrier
