These kids are so happy to have supplies to take to school

A navigation course is set in stages; from check point to check point. “True North” for our students begins with enrollment. Unfortunately, you cannot attend school without a uniform, and for many poor families and orphans there is simply no money for such a luxury. The result? Kids don’t go to school.

Stage one: get them through the door. That requires one functional uniform, and supposedly a pair of black lace top shoes. Some poor districts will overlook the shoes. But then, stage two is to keep them in school, and that requires basic supplies. School uniforms and basic supplies alone cost us in the range of $58,000 per year. Obviously, one uniform does not last an entire year, so we are continually in need of uniform money.
