Are you prepared for the back-to-school routine?

Get your kids ready and help children around the world, too

As the kids head back to school in Canada, take time to make the day special.

After school is a great time to set the tone for the year ahead:

  • discuss favourite memories from the day
  • establish new routines: homework time, family dinnertime, new bedtime
  • prepare for the next day
  • relax and enjoy the moment

Do the children in your life love school? Why not share how much education means to those around the world who may not have been able to attend school without support through Christian Children’s Fund of Canada’s global community of supporters and partners.

We enjoy hearing from children around the world, like Luz, who loves to learn: “I want to continue studying, and I would like to be a veterinarian, so I can help people raise their cows, their pigs and their chickens,” the nine-year-old from Paraguay told us.

Help spread the joy of education. You can join our challenge to send 150 backpacks to schools around the world today.
