no teacher is less worthy, but Private schools teachers do not face the same out of pocket expenses that Public school teachers face. Many assist with feeding students, some assist with laundry, and some even have to purchase paper for. We would loved to have raised enough funds to include the Pre schools and non classroom teachers as well, we tried to do as much as we could with what we did raise. We stated from the beginning what we would use any money raised for.

In answer to your question, we had a certain time period to raise the funds and the funds that we raised are not enough to offer vouchers to every teacher in the island, which is what we would have liked to do.
The purpose for the emphasis on public school teacher is through my personal experience of being the child of a public school teacher who gave her services for 40 years at the same school. I saw the “behind the scenes” of her job, helped her set up and break down her classrooms and saw her personal funds dished out in order to ensure that her classroom and students had what was needed.
I understand what challenges teachers have with sadly limited funds for such a VITAL job and wanted to show appreciation in some way.
I’m very appreciative to have found others who feel the same way and we have joined together to accomplish this.
I understand your question and welcome you to initiate a project that will fund those whom you have mentioned. I’m sure they would appreciate it.

Best regards

…why just the public school teachers? Are the private school and home school teachers any different?
