🎄 THE BETTER CHRISTMAS SHOPPING LIST…
Your Christmas shopping can change a child’s life.
This Christmas, shop for something that lasts — education.
As we prepare to welcome twice as many students in 2026, our classrooms need to grow too.
Instead of buying another candle or pair of socks this Christmas, you can buy something that changes lives — a chair for a child, a whiteboard for a classroom, or even a projector that brings learning to life.
Your gift this Christmas helps the Bakhita School of Excellence open its doors to more children in Same, Timor-Leste — giving them the chance to learn, eat, and dream big.
