For many, December is a time for snowball fights and beautiful lights, colorful décor, family traditions, stuffing ourselves with great food and spending time with friends. In all the joy of the season, though, it is important to remember those around us that do not have enough.
One of the ways that Cultural Care is able to help those less fortunate is through Kids First, our philanthropic division. I am so happy to announce that our Training School “Snack Shack” has raised over $9,000 for Kids First this year! Over the past three years, we have raised just over $25,000, one snack at a time. We are so excited to be able to donate every penny raised to help out an orphanage in South Africa, daycare center in Brazil and elementary school in New Orleans!
The “Snack Shack” is a teacher-run shop where the au pairs are able to buy typical American snacks, water and fruit during their breaks. It was stared about three years ago, when Marie Lombardi, a Training School teacher saw the au pairs buying up the candy bars Joyce Vera’s, a teacher and LCC, son brought in for his football fundraiser. What started off as a few items has really turned into a full array of snacks and candy to give the au pairs the energy they need to get through the long days of class. Each item is just one dollar, and now that we have topped the $25,000 mark, it certainly proves every little bit does count!
