Learning Squared Announces the 2024 Back-to-School Book Ride Campaign!!🚍

We are excited to launch the 2024 Back-to-School Book Ride Campaign, a

transformative initiative aimed at equipping Liberian students with the essential tools they need to succeed in school!

Dates: December 2–6, 2024 Location: Montserrado and Margibi Counties

At Learning Squared, we recognize that education is the foundation of brighter futures and stronger communities. Unfortunately, many students in Liberia face challenges such as a lack of learning materials and financial barriers, which prevent them from achieving their full potential.

What is the Book Ride Campaign?

The Back-to-School Book Ride is more than just delivering supplies, it’s a journey of hope and empowerment. Over five days, we’ll visit schools in underserved areas, distributing:

• School supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and textbooks.

• Reading materials to inspire a love for learning.

• Educational support to foster community engagement.

Be Part of the Change!

We invite you to join us in this impactful effort to support Liberia’s next generation of leaders. Here’s how you can help:

• Donate: Your contribution will directly provide resources for students.

• Volunteer: Join our team to help distribute materials and engage with students and teachers.

• Spread the Word: Help us reach more supporters by sharing our campaign.

Let’s work together to break down barriers to education and ensure every child has a chance to thrive.
