NEWS: "Shop School Supplies" Means Helping Children Worldwide

Aug. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Did you know that in most places in the world that bright eyed young minds are eager to learn but often can not because having a few simple school supplies is viewed as a privileged blessing that many kids and their parents or schools can not afford.

If these children had simple supplies like writing paper, backpacks and yes a few pencils, this will allow them to go to school. Teachers in these third world classrooms would not have to struggle with their lesson plans and be forced to turn away students as lack of these simple things we take for granted in America are precious commodities.


We need to change that and you can. Together we all can.  I want you to take a serious look at this site. Here is just a part of The Pencil “Promise” to everyone that contributes to this amazing organization:

"For every pencil we sell, we deliver another to a child in need. The same goes for all our pens, notebooks, school bags, etc…the basic tools for education. One for one, we are using the purchasing power of all of us to benefit those in need. The impact of having access to these simple school supplies, things we may often take for granted, cannot be underestimated. A simple pencil has the ability to re-write a child’s future."

For many of us education is just a given and we don't even think about it. However, for many children in places like Tibet, Cambodia, India and Laos, education is still a privilege. In order for these children to be doctors, scientists and leaders and yes some of the best teachers, they need our help.

Classrooms, students, teachers, teachers unions, back to school supplies, parents helping students,
we can all help here and it is extremely affordable. Please have a look:

Think about just one pencil, a backpack, notebooks and general school supplies changing and altering the course of history for one child. If you are a teacher we would love to hear from you . . .

Please help us help educate your children and yes these children of the world.

We are each as great as we allow ourselves to be, so imagine with a
simple pencil how great a child with no hope, can become.
