From One Backpack to a Village of Hope

What started as a simple act of kindness has grown into a mission to uplift lives through education, healthcare, and support for communities in need. In 2010, one family embarked on a mission to collect backpacks and other items for the children in Suriname.

 

Today, this organization has grown to improve lives in Suriname through education, healthcare, and support where it’s needed most.
