Hope Letter campaign - Good Neighbors Canada

Raised so far

of C$70,000 goal

Mina is a 9-year-old girl who works at a tobacco factory in Bangladesh and dreams of becoming a teacher.

She helps take care of her brother, Yeasin, who is 7 years old. They live with their parents, sharing a house in the slums with five other families.

She can't go to school because she spends most of her day at work to help her family with the costs of basic needs.

Let's take a closer look at a day in her life.

SEND YOUR MESSAGE TO MINA UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST

Our Hope Letters are available at Good Neighbors Canada and the London Children's Museum.

VISIT OUR "POST OFFICE" AT THE LONDON CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

Our creation station is open for the whole month of June, so kids can use their imagination to inspire and encourage Mina!

70K IN 70 MONTHS - LET'S FUND A SCHOOL IN MINA'S COMMUNITY!

Good Neighbors Korea is raising funds to assist Mina's family.

However, it is a sad reality that Mina is just one of many children in need of better education.

Good Neighbors Canada is committed to raising C$70,000 in 7 months to improve a school in Mina's community.

The money will go towards building a new playground, providing books and equipment, as well as implementing facility upgrades, tuition assistance and staff training.

With your help, we hope to change the lives of several kids in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Help us reach our goal and save a school!

Educational materials will be purchased: books, pens, notebooks, geometric boxes and others.

The Good Neighbors Bangladesh Mirpur School was established in 2006 in Dhaka.

23% of kids are engaged in child labor in the area. We aim to increase school enrolment.

Facilities will be improved with painting and decoration.

70% of children in slum areas are getting engaged in criminal activities and we want to change that scenario.

200 children in the community will be benefited.
