The kids in my Upstanders Academy and I have some super exciting news for you. As you may know, we are learning about Social Entrepreneurship this session … so we have decided to start our own little business to build on our learning! We would like to introduce you to our “Adopt A Stuffy” Project.
Through this project, these awesome kids are putting some of their gently loved stuffies up for adoption in an effort to help save our planet by reducing the need for new resources to be used up for the creation of new stuffies and by reducing textile waste in our landfills through the responsible rehoming of stuffies they are no longer playing with. And we are giving all the money raised to the Al Taha family – the beautiful Syrian family who have recently arrived here to safety, so that they can feel more supported and loved and so that they can thrive in their first year here. We will do this through the Go Fund Me that has been set up by Grace United Church which you can visit here.
The kids are writing the profile for their stuffy, taking the photo for our social media pages, one Upstander is working on a website specific to this project, and the kids also created the logo and the banner photo for our Facebook page. They are learning so much through this activity!
Here are the stuffies that we currently have available for adoption:
