2012

 I had big plans to write a letter reflecting on the past year, but when I sat down to collect my thoughts the message was very simple, THANK YOU.  Over the past year you have helped us provide 6,794 uniforms to children in seven countries.  You have helped us make dreams of going to school a possibility for over 8,000 children.  Those 6,794 uniforms will change the lives of those receiving an education and countless others.  We are eternally grateful for your support, encouragement and enthusiasm.  Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this is how far we would have come in a year and I know for certain we could not have done it without our amazing donors and partners! 

 

So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for an amazing 2012. 

We cannot wait to see what 2013 will bring for Tailored for Education!

 

Happy New Year! xo, Megan and Jess

Happy Holidays from Tailored for Education!

Wishing you all the Happiest of Holidays!  We are beyond grateful for the support, encouragement and excitement you all have provided us with this year.  As we all open gifts today I can't help but be reminded that education is the greatest gift one can receive.  A gift that you have all helped us give to over EIGHT THOUSAND children this year! Lots of love from our homes to yours, Megan and Jess

La Vallée, Haiti Round 2: Complete!

Last August we funded our very first project; 200 students at Ecole Ste Therese De La Voute in La Vallée, Haiti.  This project will always have a very special place in our hearts and we are thrilled to announce that thanks to all of our amazing donors we were able to provide uniforms for all 200 students for the second year in a row.  Additionally, this year we provided 400 uniforms at Ecole Ste Therese De La Voute's sister schools IPEPH at Musac and Parish Church Ste Clair at Tuff.  As you can see each of the three schools have different uniforms and many of you will probably recognize the green ones!  

As we know from all of our partners in Haiti, the country is still suffering greatly from the earthquake in January of 2010.  However, it is wonderful to see these children, who have all been through so much, in their uniforms and receiving an education.  Their education is the first step to bring their families out of a life of poverty!  

THANK YOU to all of you who have helped make this project possible, for the second year in a row!
