About Weaving Fala

---

"I am writing to express my support for a burgeoning nonprofit organization, Weaving Fala, which has embarked on a mission to improve equitable access and achievement in education in our community"

"Founder Elati Bourgeois' commitment to advancing this cause is inspiring: her drive as a mother propels her to act, and love of this community and its potential spreads her arms out wide, inviting us all to do better, bit by bit."

"As an educator and leader in the various educational options for our children, my hope, like Weaving Fala, is to facilitate equitable learning environments where every student feels safe and wanted. I long to give children the chance to grow and make positive difference in their community." 

"I cannot express enough, my hope, that Weaving Fala, and the Founder Elati Bourgeois is considered as a potential partner in accomplishing the hope of the community of Lebanon becoming a community marked by educational opportunities that are equitable across the board."

"As a biracial family in this community I am encouraged to hear about the influential change this organization seeks to have within our schools. Providing families with feelings of safety, belonging and truth is of utmost importance to me and my family, and we believe Weaving Fala will do just that. 

I am personally excited about the hope of more diverse resources within the schools and their curriculum which will serve our community as a whole.

I have been a close friend of Weaving Fala founder, Elati Bourgeois, for several years. I have had the privilege of witnessing her lead her family with grace and humility despite hardships and challenges. Her passion for this cause and her love for the community is evident in the way she welcomes everyone to learn and grow alongside her."

 "I am so thankful for Weaving Fala for giving me the confidence to take on opportunities to serve the youth in our community. When I first took on my task at hand, I spent a few nights stressed and thinking “what have I gotten myself into?!” However, after receiving Weaving Fala’s Elati’s advice overall support, I feel so much more confident and capable of taking on this challenge. They have pushed me to embrace the opportunity for my own personal growth while simultaneously showing that they fully have my back in any short comings and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for a better way to support me and the community."

Now that is fostering equitable growth!
