#VOAFL recently received a generous cash donation and inside the envelope was a wonderful surprise from the donor. A note of encouragement for students heading back to school! This note was photocopied and included in each donated backpack to remind the children living in our programs that they can succeed by working hard and believing in themselves. Good luck to all students and teachers this 2019-2020 school year!
