education for the poor
TRANSCRIPT
Design For Change Competition
Grace Model School
Every morning when the first bell rings for Grace
Model School there is a group of children who wait
outside and hope for the chance to enter. In the
Trading Places program GMS students are sacrificing
themselves for the betterment of the
underprivileged in their communities. Without the
financial means to provide scholarships students
have offered to switch places with the poor to give
them the opportunity to be educated.
Students feel that education for the poor is their communities greatest problem.
This is a problem that effects many children in the area.
Although students can not ultimately fix this problem in one week, they can be a catalyst for change by exposing poor parents and children with the benefits of education.
