For our 12 months of giving project in August, we collecting pencils for The Pencil Project, you can read all about it here. We collected pencils at our last Wacky Wednesday event and ended up with over 1,000 pencils. I was so proud of Eli, he made a poster to advertise to our friends about the project. Here is the poster - flying pencils with retractable wheels - how creative!
Next, we boxed them up at mailed them to the Rising Fountains Development Program in Zambia, Africa! The pencils will then be distributed. Here is a quote from the director that I got in an email "The pencils will go a long way to assist the pupils in schools who do not have access to pencils, books, and of course other school requisites." Wow, a little pencil can make an impact! We will definitely be doing this again next year!
