News Update - April 08, 2010

Not too long ago, I saw a collection of photos featuring children whose classroom was literally in an old bus. ( Part I - Part II) And then tonight, I saw they got exactly what they needed and deserve a nice, clean, safe structure. I seriously hope this story will raise awareness and help other children in the same situation. Seeing this really made my day. :)
