Thank you for the continued support. 🥰

So special when kind hearts support our children and support Cat Care at the same time! Thank you for buying our Life Skills Academy children pancakes. A valuable day for them as they potted their plants and then sold them! They learned about deducting the cost of the soil, paying “tax” and sharing profits. Watch this little group of entrepreneurs as they grow into valuable members of society!

How fantastic is this?! 🙌 Watching these young scholars collaborate and saw so enthusiastically to upcycle wood into jewelry hangers is truly impressive. What life skill shown here resonates most with you? (Teamwork? Practical tool use? Problem-solving? Sustainability?) Huge props to Life Skills Academy for creating these essential spaces where scholars can safely explore, learn tangible skills, and discover their own capabilities through projects like this.
