FUTURE SPONSOR PROJECTS,
Our next project we hope to start soon is donating to prisons for the purpose of stronger education/means. We have recently learned that only a small percentage actually gets to go to college/school, or be educated at all in prisons across the USA! Even though they claim that all persons in prison have the chance for an education, what they don`t tell you is that they have very few classes/teachers, a very long list in waiting, and they pick those in prison to be educated first by whom has been there the longest, "even if you are in prison for life"... We have nothing against those in prison for life getting an education, but it does not help those that will get out someday soon to better themselves where they are less likely to repeat the same crimes such as theft/drugs/street-activity etc. with an education, and job field to work towards, and go to once they get out of prison. Not only will a funding help those help themselves with education, but we feel that it would better society as well.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by our eBay ME page, and learn about the causes we care about! (Favorite 'cause' links at bottom of page)
