On Sunday afternoon, our middle school youth gathered at Good Shepherd to assemble school kits for Lutheran World Relief. Bev Sheridan organized the collection of notebooks, string bags, pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, erasers, and rulers from the congregation. (Thanks Bev!)
We learned that many children are not able to go to school, because they don’t have school supplies. These kits especially helps girls, whose education is often a lower priority.
It was exciting to discover that we will be able to track our school kits and find out where in the world they end up!
We celebrated with lemonade, popcorn, chocolate balls, and games. 🙂
