Pikin Packs
Pikin (pee-keen) is Krio for child. In December 2023, MIGC will be heading to West Africa to host a community event in the seat of Sierra Leone. We are providing much-needed school supplies and/or food supplies to children ages 0-18. The continuously rising costs of living, high unemployment rates, and lack of private-sector businesses cause additional stress for families. Education is paramount for potential future opportunities for the children of Sierra Leone. A lot of parents cannot afford school supplies for their children and we want to give every child their best foot forward to creating a brighter future.....and, we need your help!
