SUMMARY:CharityTT Start Strong 2026: Back-to-School Campaign 2026
DESCRIPTION:August 22		\n\n					\n				@			\n			\n				10:00 am			\n		\n									\n					-				\n			\n							\n					12:00 pm				\n			\n						 \n\n \n \nSTART STRONG 2026\n \nEveryone Deserves a Strong Start.\n \nA school bag carries supplies. \n \nA community carries a child. \n \nAt CharityTT\, we believe that every child deserves to begin the school year with confidence\, dignity\, and hope. Unfortunately\, for many families across Trinidad and Tobago\, the rising cost of school supplies makes that difficult. \n \nStart Strong is CharityTT’s annual back-to-school campaign dedicated to ensuring that children have the tools they need to succeed\, not only through essential school supplies\, but through encouragement\, compassion\, and community support. \n \nWhat began as a small initiative has grown into a movement driven by one simple belief: \n \n \nEveryone deserves a strong start. \n \n \nLast year\, with the generosity of our supporters\, we assisted 75 primary school students. This year\, our goal is to help 150 children begin the new academic year equipped and encouraged for the journey ahead. \n \n\n \n More Than a School Bag\n \nEvery child will receive: \n \n A quality school bag \n \n Essential school supplies \n \n Stationery and learning materials \n \n A personal Message of Hope \n \nBecause we believe a few encouraging words can inspire a lifetime of confidence. \n \n\n \n Leave More Than a Donation…\n \nLeave a Message of Hope.\n \nOne of the most meaningful parts of Start Strong is our Message of Hope Initiative. \n \nEvery sponsor is invited to write a handwritten message of encouragement that will be placed inside the school bag of the child they are supporting. \n \nA simple note saying: \n \n“Believe in yourself.” \n \n“Dream big.” \n \n“Never give up.” \n \nmay become something a child remembers long after the school supplies have been used. \n \nBecause sometimes… \n \nHope begins with a few kind words. \n \n\n \n How You Can Help\n \nEvery act of love makes a difference. \n \nYou can support Start Strong by: \n \n \nDonating school supplies\n \nMaking a financial contribution of any amount\n \nSponsoring a child\n \nVolunteering on distribution day\n \nSharing our campaign with family and friends\n \n \nNo contribution is too small. \n \nEvery gift helps another child begin the school year prepared and confident. \n \n\n \n Start Strong 2026\n \nEvent Information\n \nDate: Saturday\, 22 August 2026 \n \nLocation: Sangre Grande\, Trinidad (venue to be announced) \n \nGoal: Support 150 primary school students \n \n\n \n Make a Difference Today\n \nAccount Name: CharityTTAccount Number: 3142250 \n \n \n\n \n Together\, We Can Help Every Child Start Strong\n \nWhen you support Start Strong\, you’re doing more than providing school supplies. \n \nYou’re investing in a child’s future. \n \nYou’re building confidence. \n \nYou’re showing a child that someone believes in them. \n \nBecause everyone deserves a strong start. \n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						\n	\n	\n\n						\n							Add to calendar						\n						\n	\n\n					\n					\n						\n															\n									\n										Google Calendar									\n								\n															\n									\n										iCalendar									\n								\n															\n									\n										Outlook 365									\n								\n															\n									\n										Outlook Live
