Upcoming Projects: School to School

School to School


Children's Day at the Morning Star Bilingual School in Sula, Honduras


What is School to School?
At Inner Wisdom, we try to get all ages involved in what is going on in different parts of the world. This can be a great learning experience for children and parents alike. Our School to School program creates a link between an international IWF education project and your local school. It allows students around the world to adopt a project and directly help children in different parts of the globe. This in turn creates a cross-cultural learning environment for both schools.

How does School to School work?
Any school can particiapte in the School to School program. To run School to School at your school, you select a student and a teacher representative who will help to organize the classes and decide on the type of fundraiser you want to do. Schools can choose any week to run School to School and often have found fun ways to compete between classes to see who can raise the most amount of money. The goal is to collect one dollar per student per day for one week. This will sustain a school abroad, like the Morning Star Bilingual School in Honduras, for up to an entire year. Past schools have done coin drops, bottle drives, and loose change collections. Can you think of another creative way to raise one dollar a day?
