While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.

On July 22, 2009 we received a grant we will never forget. Through the “Penny Harvest” program, 4th graders at Graland Country Day School gave us a $165 grant. The purpose: one monitor, one keyboard, and one mouse to help bridge the digital divide for students at Candlelight school.

As the quote above describes, children have a way of showing us the things that really matter in life. They raised the money, they made the funding decision, and they decided to support children just like them who need the tools for a new digital world.

Want to join Graland in making a difference in children’s lives? Join our Global Giving Challenge to provide children at Candlelight School essential computer skills that will empower their educational and vocational future.
