We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving day! Thanksgiving Poem by Joyce Meng At the end of November, When Thanksgiving soon arrives, I hope that we all remember, How a simple gift transforms lives. As we celebrate this holiday season, We implore you to think on a global scale, That education is a reason, Why the fight against poverty can prevail. No matter where or who you are, You can make a big difference this year. Even if you give just one dollar, Or one hour as a volunteer! Keep on giving, Givology Team -
