[quote=Anonymous]OP, our school (about 40% FARMS, and maybe 20% UMC, with everyone else in the middle class) has a low-key but very effective uniform swap, and our school admin has a discreet stash of donated clothes that she passes on to families who could use it. Good on you to want to be involved. Agree with everyone that once you are in the community your perspective broadens a bit... it increased my desire to help without taking away someone dignity, and also seeing the basic equality of all the kids on a human level made me much more senstive about how to do it. My advice if you want to join a school like this is to listen a lot for the first year, learn about the communtiy and what the school does. so many people jump in with a "colonizer" mentality and it can be very counterproductive.[/quote]
