This foundation was started by 4 siblings who wanted to make a difference in the lives of children that were less fortunate. We have been volunteering since we were young children. We have been providing school supplies to children in Nicaragua and Panama. During a trip to Nicaragua, we learned that it cost $50/year to send a child to school for an entire year. The Nicaraguan government tries to encourage families to send their children to school and as an incentive provided rice and beans every day to children who attend school. Most families can’t afford to send all their children to school so they send one at a time. This means that if you have 2 siblings, then you would likely attend school every 3 years. Of the world’s 650 million children of primary school age, 120 million do not reach grade 4 (UNICEF DATA).
