Dale la lucha! Fight: Family & Schools United to Change Children's Lives
Description: In this episode, we hear a mother’s honest story about how she fought and continues to fight for her daughter to have the best educational and life experience. We are reminded that the power of community is great and how schools who lead with love for their students unleash their potential while providing the tools that parents need to be strong advocates. Barriers can be broken, even cultural barriers are no match for a community who truly cares.
