Giving School

In early November Justus came to visit in Montessori and teach us a bit more about his wonderful country, Kenya. We learned about many animals that live there. We also learned about the children of Nymbani Village. They need backpacks and school supplies to be able to go to school in January.

What a great service project for us!

We collected money to buy backpacks. We also collected crayons and colored pencils while our teachers donated regular pencils and sharpeners.

First, every backpack needed a message of good wishes for the new school term!

 

Make sure every backpack has crayons,

                                                             

 

                                                              colored pencils,

                                                                     

                                                                  and pencils.

                          Make sure every bag has a pencil sharpener. There is no electricity!

                                   Each bag is checked to make sure it has everything!

                                                  Then, into the box and off to Kenya!

Our rafiki at Nymbani Village in Kitui, Kenya will enjoy their new school supplies. We're glad we could help them get ready for their new school year. We believe "It just takes ONE" to make a difference in the life of a child! In our case that means 75 backpacks!
