Before the end of the school year, we are asking schools to participate in our school supplies collection drive. Parents, teachers, and students are encouraged to think about donating the left over school supplies from the year.
Before UniKids, my kids used to bring a backpack and more full of year round school supplies that ended up in the basement and sometimes in their backpack:-) What started as a suitcase donation to a small school in Ethiopia has now grown to helping more that one school, more than one orphanage.
We now work with registered not-for-profit organizations in Ethiopia that help students in orphanages and low-income families. Our goal is to help out about 500 children this year. These are children who don't have the necessary supplies to help them continue their education. They use notebooks and pens/papers but imagine if they are able to have a notebook for each subject, crayons, markers, colored pencils, scissors, rulers, erasers. And when they go to their library, imagine their smile when they are welcomed by books and they are transported to another world through the books.
We are hopeful that our participating schools will make us proud by donating as many school supplies and books as possible. Our goal is to have about 10 schools participate this year and we are at 6 schools.
Your school or your child's school can be part of this cause.
Thank you for your unconditional support.
