POCA With the help of friends, family, the Hanover Central community, Girl Scouts, and Watts neighborhood, Watts Backpack Baggers is made possible. Baggers and have helped me achieve my dream. I am fortunate that the Children’s Museum chose me to be a part of a great program that not only recognizes the power of youth, but has made sure that my project has prospered. In 2010, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, through the Power of Children Awards, presented me with a $2000 grant to help further my organization. With this grant, Watts was able to get a surplus of items such as scissors, pencil cases, and backpacks in order to meet the number of request from different places. Also my organization now coordinates with a local food pantry where it runs a mini-store. People are now able to not just get school items but toys, clothes, books, and shoes all for free. Anniversary I am truly thankful for all those who have continuously donated to Watts Backpack Making a Difference 6 Inspired /InspiredKidsIndy /inspiredkidmag
