Paris screamed, why are the kids on the street, they are supposed to be in school. She was told that their parents don’t have money to send them to school.

She got so emotional when she found out some children in some parts of the world don’t have right to go to school unless their parents can afford the tuition. This is how Open Door Initiatives was born, to generate funds to support children’s education, medical care and nutrition all over the world. Blessed with a heart to give, Paris believes that every child deserves the chance to live a healthy and productive life.
