Pencils for Kids Launches Its Mission
to Provide School Supplies to Children in Need
In the News
Help Provide School Supplies for Needy Kids Abroad
A new nonprofit organization called Pencils for Kids is doing a lot more than providing pencils: It is enabling needy children to go to school. In its first endeavor, it has raised enough funding to provide 375 backpacks full of school supplies to children in Bali - including pencils, crayons, paper and rulers (all things the Balinese schools do not provide) as well as toothbrushes and vouchers for school uniforms. In Bali, the cost of a school uniform - about $10 - can be 25 percent of the average rural family’s monthly income. Pencils for Kids is collaborating with The Bali Children’s Project to identify and contact those in need. Other partners in the effort include AsiaLuxe Holidays, which is donating $10 for every trip to Bali it books, and the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa in Bali, which is donating the transportation of the supplies to rural areas. If you’d like to help, you can sponsor a backpack for $40, or an entire school for $7,560; visit PencilsForKidsInc.com to find out how.
