My Story

Before we visited this village, our tour guide said we could bring the children that live there some school supplies, so we came with a few pencils, pens, and erasers. I will never forget the children’s faces when we handed them a few school supplies. They were so grateful. The children’s gratitude and my desire to understand more led me to begin this project. These children have never owned their own notebook or box of pens. They don’t own sneakers to play soccer or volleyball at school.

Please help me get them the supplies they need.
