We are thrilled to share a heartfelt THANK YOU for your generous contributions so far to the Year of the Pencil campaign! Thanks in part to your support, we successfully purchased and shipped the first set of pencils, sharpeners, and pencil pouches to students in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
These essential supplies are already on their way, bringing hope and opportunity to children eager to learn. Your kindness ensures that students have the tools they need to write, draw, and dream big!
See the impact YOU made! Check out this video
Every pencil you provide fuels a child’s education and future. Please consider sharing this initiative with your network to help even more students thrive.

Thank you for making a difference—one pencil at a time!
