As you already know our program is based on providing elementary age children with a reading experience through New York schools. Our plans for this year’s spring school term have been impacted by COVID-19. With schools being closed and teachers having to learn how to become distance learning teachers we have not done any reading this term.
However, we wanted a way to support our young kids at this time so we’ve partnered with Hearts N’ Crafts again but this time to provide face masks for child in New York living in shelters. The changes happening in New York has impacted the underserved greater then most other communities. So it is with that in mind we decided to support the mask project, lead by the founder of Hearts N’ Craft, Nicola Johnson.
Without the support of our community, the Yva Jourdan Foundation would otherwise not be able to support another great community nonprofit organization. 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
