Here’s a story.

During the strike we ran a teacher giveaway and handed out free strawberry cups.

And today a student named Manav mailed us a handwritten letter thanking us for supporting his teacher.

Moments like this hit different.

We decided to visit his teacher at the school and hopefully meet Manav too. We’ll let you know what happens.
