Saying this past year has been challenging because of the pandemic would be an understatement. While the arrival of vaccines and support coming through the American Rescue plan provides a light at the end of a tunnel, many in our community still need a lot of support. This doesn't just include those in Washington, DC. This also includes our ECE family in Liberia.
For several years, DCAEYC has been proud to have a cohort of members in Liberia. Because of the distance we're not able to engage with them as much as we'd like, so when we heard the pandemic was creating barriers to getting the supplies educators and young children there needed, we knew we had to help.
In collaboration with Discount School Supply, DCAEYC is hosting a Month of the Young Child supply drive to collect high-quality supplies for our DCAEYC members in Liberia. To contribute:
Visit discountschoolsupply.com/moyc-liberia and purchase supplies you'd like to donate.
