We choose Operation Breakthrough because they have worked with our school before and we have volunteered and donated to them before. They're a really good foundation. When we visit Operation Breakthrough all the kids look like they're having a blast out on there playground. The kids there seem very nice and helpful when working in the classrooms and we really like the way they operate.
