Thank you for truly seeing the heart behind ‘Play with Purpose’!
You’ve captured exactly what motivates this work: the belief that every student, especially in underserved areas, deserves learning that sparks both joy and growth.
Those statistics you mentioned? They’re not just numbers they represent real kids who now raise their hands with confidence and solve problems together with kindness.
