We just recently sent our kids back-to-school without a second thought. It is expected that kids go to school everyday in Canada. We stress over the back-to-school shopping and making sure we have what they need to go to school but we never stress over if we can even send our kids to school for an education.
We are very fortunate that we don't worry about education for our children in Canada if we worry about the education it is usually what school board and should we do french immersion or not. But there are tons of children, actually half of all the children in the world don't have access to essential services including education, basic healthcare and clean water.
According to UNICEF, in Senegal alone, three out of five kids
don’t have access to education. NIVEA Canada would like to help this change so they have partnered
with Plan Canada – under the motto ‘We Care & Connect’ – to fund an
education project in Senegal. With the shared goal of improving
educational facilities by constructing, rehabilitating and equipping
classrooms, and providing more qualified teachers and materials, NIVEA
Canada and Plan Canada are working together to help break the cycle of
poverty.

Wonderful cause for Nivea to partner with. Sad to learn some people work for a wage that is less than the cost of a Canadian coffee. @cathyincanada
