A card for every occasion, accompanied by a donation

Posted by stw2015 on Sep 27, 2016 1:20:37 PM

Celebrate with School the World! Looking for a fun gift idea? Instead of giving another material item, our new donation cards make the perfect alternative gift.

Spread some joy with a card that's more meaningful than your run-of-the-mill present.

Whether you’re looking for “Happy Birthday,” “Thank You,” or just “Celebrate” — we’ve got you covered.

The colourful and festive donation cards are $25 for 5 cards. Your donation will go towards buying books for the school libraries we help build in Central America.

The cards feature incredible photos from our service trips that are bound to inspire you or brighten your day.

Get into the spirit of Thanksgiving this year by bringing place cards to your family dinner. Because who needs another jar of cranberry sauce? Remind yourself of the education you’re grateful for, and help children in need get access to essential books and libraries.

The Thanksgiving cards are $25 for 10 cards, making them ideal to decorate the Thanksgiving table.

School the World has a card for every occasion, and they're accompanied by your thoughtful donation.

A Night of Thanks!

Posted by stw2015 on Sep 16, 2016 3:09:52 PM

Thanks to all who came out to celebrate with us at our 7th Annual School The World fundraiser last week. We were lucky to have our friends at Eaton Vance host again this year, and the weather was perfect to enjoy their lovely outdoor terrace. It was a beautiful night where we enjoyed cocktails, great appetizers and a stunning view of Boston, along with a fantastic silent auction!

Journey

Posted by stw2015 on Aug 3, 2016 1:56:10 PM

We're so excited to have just released a video that demonstrates the struggle so many children in developing countries endure just to get an education. Journey was created in partnership with a wonderful creative branding agency, Brand Content, who donated valuable time and resources to make this a reality. We think it is a convincing story of why people need to help in the fight to provide education to all the world's children. Please take a moment to watch.

Three Trips Later - Meg Gilman

Posted by stw2015 on Jul 27, 2016 12:49:05 PM

Even after three trips, the experience is still so surreal. It is not until I get back to Boston each time that I realize what has just happened, and at that point, the journey is complete. Being in the rural communities of Guatemala, which School The World works in, is an experience I cannot put into words. I think the fact that I returned just three days ago and am already planning my return this winter says enough. The first time I traveled with STW was in April of 2015, and it’s crazy to think that I almost didn’t go. It was a last minute decision that I made because most of my friends were going, and I figured it would be a fun way to get community service hours. Now I am entering my senior year in high school, planning to major in international studies and then join the Peace Corps immediately after college–definitely not something I ever saw myself doing.
