At Royal Heights Elementary School in Surrey, BC, many students face complex challenges.
💜
More students than usual here who have special needs or speak a language other than English at home, while high proportion of their families are low-income or single-parent, and could use some extra support.

This holiday season, Royal Heights is working with the Vancouver Sun Children's Fund on emergency fund to help students with basic needs like food, transportation, and school supplies.
💜
The community is showing up: they've already raised $4,425, surpassing their goal!
💜
Here's how they did it:
✅ Partnered with community organizations and anonymous matching donor
✅ Communicated need by sharing background on the school
✅ Explained exactly how donations will be used

Jane and Izzy are two young women who care about the world around them. In 2013, the friends started @sparkesofhope, a small organization that helps girls pursue their education.
🌍
Through @sparkesofhope, Jane and Izzy created the Future Leader Scholarship, which awards $1,5000 to a young Haitian girl at @youthupliftmentint's school who shows outstanding commitment to her studies, dedication to her community, and leadership skills amongst her peers.
🌍
The scholarship has been awarded 3 times so far - and now, the girls are raising money to send its recipients back for another year of high school!
🌍
So far, Jane and Izzy have raised $2,720 - they're about to reach their $3,000 goal!
🌍
Here's how they did it:
✅Partnered with Youth Upliftment International
✅Stayed active on social media to tell their story
✅Pictures help us get to know the girls we're donating to benefit
🌍
