Lumos Launches Indiegogo Campaign to Furnish Special Education Unit in Moldova!

We all already know about the amazing work Lumos does to protect children worldwide and keep families together, and this December, the charity is asking for our help! Last year, Lumos raised $30,000 to build a Special Education Unit (or SEU for short) in Ialoveni, Moldova, which will serve as a place where disabled children can get the special attention they need while attending school. Now, the organization hopes to raise $35,000 to furnish the SEU with the equipment these children need to learn in a safe and comfortable environment.
