Thank you to the Boston Housing Authority!

The Massachusetts Branch would like to thank the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) for their recent donation of almost $500 to support our mission. BHA employees donated money each week for "dress down day" and then chose to donate the money to MABIDA. Their donation will be used towards a scholarship for an individual being trained in multisensory structured language instruction. Thank you again!
