In talking to my mom this morning she suggested that people could purchase extra school supplies this month for Pestel because of the per-school sales going on. I think it's a great idea!!
The one thing they do not need is paper. So please don't worry about buying that. For some reason they can get paper cheaply (And they use a specific kind of lined paper...).
But pens, pencils, erasers, rulers...all that good stuff...can be easily packed, doesn't weight much, and would be a big help to those who are attending school and their teachers.
We will plan to collect it all and store it until the next trip to Pestel (which...tentatively...may be in late February. So if you're interested in going down with me...just let me know :)
If you live in our area (Hershey) you can give it to us. If up in NH, you can give it to my parents. Fort those farther away...if you want to give in this way you could send money (either to us, or to the church if you want a tax deduction) and we can purchase things in your name.
Simple...easy..cheap...a big bang for the buck. And doing some real good for a bunch of kids in Pestel!
Great stuff!
Ben
