Alumni Highlights

We recently asked our alumni for their support by writing a poem describing Jumpstart's mission and impact, and we were thrilled by the number of responses! Because we received so many fantastic submissions, we decided to showcase each one. You can read all of the alumni poems here: Alumni Poems [PDF]
 
One Day at a Time
 
"One day at a time, the world opens up
In the heart of a child, wonder builds up.
Unique talents that reach new heights
For a child's tomorrow, the road ahead is bright.
 
Patience and care, smiles and laughter
Being the pillar, a base to the future.
What a joy it is to mold and convey new sight
For a child's tomorrow, the road ahead is bright."
