22 percent of DC Children Parents Who Lost Their Job During Pandemic Need School Supplies: Bay Atlantic students set to donate to District of Columbia Public Schools

Bay Atlantic students set to host a supply drive to gather products to donate to District of Columbia Public School students whose parents lost their job during the pandemic to provide school materials to those in need.  Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 51.7 million parents have lost their source of income due to pandemic, and the $600 weekly unemployment aid barely helped the parents and single parents to help their kids pay for school supplies.  DCPS Chancellor Lewis D. Ferebee states that “DCPS believes providing enriching and nurturing supports for the mind, body, and family to be more important than ever.”

Bay Atlantic University students (Egshiglen Khaliun, Jose Bermudez, Laura Forero, and Victoria Scalco) created a program focused on UN SDG 4: Quality Education to help the public school to build a better learning experience for students with a higher quality of teaching and an improved and safer environment.  During the pandemic, parents have lost their job, which pays for their child’s education, school supplies, or any financial support while paying for their basic needs. Kids have been unable to collect the educational materials leading to not being able to participate in class. Students will have a more significant learning opportunity with the donation while parents being stress-free from any financial difficulty to buy school supplies.

BAU students will collect donations from October 20th – 27th at BAU, 1510 H St, Washington DC, 4th-floor student lounge area. The team will drop off donations to DCPS on November 10 for students in need.  If you have any questions, please contact 202-763-2208 or [email protected]

“I am a normal girl, but I have a big ambition. That’s living the truest and most beautiful life. I think the risk is always better than the regret. I am happy to be here at BAU and living a life I have always dreamed of. I prayed faithfully and worked hard for this opportunity. Moreover, thank you so much my beloved family for all their unlimited support and unconditional love. Thank you BAU for this opportunity!”
