I took part in the Elmer’s Bag It Forward project and will donate school items to a Title 1 school in Florida. Thanks to Collective Bias, I was given a stipend to spend on notebooks, pencils, paper, crayons, glue and the the things that children need in public elementary school. Title 1 schools have a population of students who are in the low income category. Their families may not be able to afford school items, uniforms and are more likely to be eligible for free or lunch.
Please take a look at my story and photos on whrrl:
I even added a short video about this project:
Well it is sad that children are not able to have a pen or even a piece of paper to write on. But it is the truth.. This seems like a great program. If children do not have the tools to learn, they will not have the right tools to succeed in life. But people like you will make it possible for many children to succeed. Thanks for the post.
