School Supplies
Many children living in poverty feel anxious about starting a new school year. The shame of not knowing if they will have the proper clothes, supplies, or lunch money can drastically impact their classroom experience. When you give a child in need the gift of school supplies, you are providing them with
- the peace of mind knowing they will be well-equipped to start classes
- pencils, pens, notebooks, and other classroom necessities
- an opportunity to avoid the bullying that so often comes with experiencing poverty
The Impact of Your Gift
Local believers demonstrated the love of Christ to school children in a high mountain village in South Asia by providing school benches, school supplies, sporting goods, and even some basic playground equipment for 230 elementary-age boys and girls. The children are eager to learn and precious in God's eyes, but they sat on the floor in empty and cold cinder-block school rooms without the advantages that other school children enjoy, such as computers, sporting equipment, a library, or a cafeteria. Through this project, the children feel cared for and blessed to have desks, school supplies, and even recreational equipment. The project provided an opportunity to engage a community in a remote region of South Asia with the love of Christ, blessing children, teachers, and families.
