If you had $500 grants, children without basic necessities,
how would you prepare them for the future?

3. The Challenge
When Corlita left Seguin Elementary school, in her backpack she had
something that was worth more than everything she had in her home,
including the clothes on her back--an Apple iPad 3.
Her teacher had put it in her hands, shown her how she could access the
teacher videos on tomorrow's lessons. Corlita couldn't wait to get home, a
corner of the Children's Shelter set aside for children to do their homework.
After dinner, she planned to snuggle up and watch the videos. As a 5th grader
without access to television, watching her teacher talk would be just wonderful.
After dinner, though, her Mom showed up to pick her up.
"Sweetie," she started, the moisture of tears damp upon her cheeks, "we're
going home to Grandma's!"
"What about my homework, Mamí?"
"No te preocupes, amor. We'll move Tuesday through Friday, and you get a
vacation! We can drop your books off to Ms. Englehart at the door and she can
walk them over to your old school tomorrow morning!"

8. Powerful writing will not occur,
and children will not value
writing, she reminds us, until
children and their teachers
value the stories that
emanate from their life
experiences.
