In their own words
Hear from the children we serve.
"Before joining a CYSD learning space, I had been out of school for three years. Today, I can read and write again."
Thank you for giving me these textbooks. My mother is going to be so happy when she sees them! Now I can study hard at home"
Thank you so much for my new textbook. I have never owned a book of my own before, and now I can study and do my homework every single day
