To some, $1,000 may seem like a drop in the bucket, but for me, it opened the widow of opportunity to change lives, including my own, members of Foster & Banks Walk in Faith Foundation and everyone we have come across. We went from a 3 Person Board to now having 21 Adult Members and 4 Youth Members. We started out with 1 Partnership and 2 schools, and now have over 20 partnerships, have delivered services or support to 6 schools and 5 Community Programs and Churches. You have helped restored my faith that there are really systems of support that really work to help everyday people, who want to make extraordinary change!

⭐ NEW GRANTEE: Namo Majeed from Iraq ⭐
Imagine a schoolyard transformed into a stage, where laughter, curiosity, and action come together to spark a conversation about our planet’s future. Through Interactive Mobile Theatre Shows, Namo Majeed and his team are bringing environmental education to life in 15 schools across Iraq.
Using humor, clowning, and engaging performances, the show invites students to think, question, and act on climate change and environmental protection. With every scene, the young audience becomes part of the story, answering questions, holding environmental signs, and exploring the vital role of nature’s elements.
Join us in celebrating this creative approach to inspiring the next generation! 👏
