Happy Valentine’s Day!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Pius, Max and Egifred are three incredible kids who attend the school with which Epic Change is partnered in Arusha, Tanzania. Just like in this picture, at this amazing learning facility, you’d never be able to tell which of these beautiful faces belongs to a child who has lost his father to HIV, and lives with his mother who survives with the disease. You’d never be able to tell that one of these kids attends tuition-free, and that the other two are fortunate enough, though they live in a country where most people live on $2 a day, to have healthy parents who work hard to afford the nominal tuition charged at the school. At their unique school, these children, and 170 of their friends, laugh and play together on the same playground and are given equal access to an amazing education.

Help us spread the love to Pius, Max & Egifred this Valentine’s Day by spreading this e-card to your family and friends, and by spreading your support for Epic Change throughout the year; commit just $10 a month by clicking the “Subscribe” button below.


PS: You can’t imagine what fun we had with the kids taking these pics; they’d never seen footed pajamas before, and were enamoured with the fluffy pillows my mom had made for the photo shoot. Congrats to our own amateur photographer Sanjay for catching this amazing shot of their personalities in full effect; wait ’til you see what we have in store for next year!
