Dear Parents,
As we approach the Christmas season of sharing and giving, let’s not forget about those who are less unfortunate than us. LEAP Education Group will be working with SAABSHARES in Indonesia to raise books and stationery for the children living in the “Rumah Belajar” or Learning House for the children living in the slump areas.
How You Can Help
