Equip a Student by Assembling Pencil Case Kits
Crossing the dirt floor, a child approached the makeshift desk and proudly showed
the teacher a filled pencil case. A caring stranger had sent essential school
supplies including pencils, crayons, glue stick, and scissors. The excited student
was ready to begin the new school year!
There are countless numbers of parents in the United States as well as
in developing countries struggling to provide basic shelter, food, and clothing.
They are often unable to purchase both the required uniforms and needed
supplies for their school-aged children.
Last year, through Operation Blessing's outreach programs for children more than 53,400 school-aged children received
clothes and school supplies around the world!
One of the ways these students are helped is through the Pencil Case Kit project.
We invite you, your family, friends as well as clubs and church groups
to put together these incredibly simple and inexpensive school supply kits. You
can equip 1 or 100 children with the confidence they need to walk into the classroom
on the first day of school! It's up to you.
It's so easy to put a Pencil Case Kit together!
The estimated cost of putting one pencil case kit together is only $6 USD; a small
price to pay for a to child walk confidently into school!
