School Kits for Lutheran World Relief
Churches are asked to bring supplies towards making school kits as part of the ministry and mission of Lutheran World Relief. From LWR’s website:
Why school supplies? To the children who receive School Kits, these supplies mean the difference between getting an education or not. Public school is usually free, but in the places where LWR works, even a few required supplies, like pens and paper, may be more than many families can afford.
And when parents can only afford to send one of their children to school, girls rarely get priority…yet the education level of mothers has the biggest impact on development.
Here’s the list of supplies and the church assignments for each set of supplies:
- church names beginning with A-E – pencil sharpeners
- church names beginning with F-H – BLUNT TIP scissors
- church names beginning with I-S (not Saints) – block erasers (not pencil cap)
- church names who are “Saints” – boxes of 16/24 crayons
- church names who are T through Z – 30cm rulers
In addition, we are asking that EACH PARTICIPANT will bring at least four (4) 70-page notebooks (with no design on the cover).
Please consult the information on LWR’s website for specific requirements for each of the supply items.
People often ask how many they should bring of any specific item… Our answer: Please be generous! A good rule of thumb is to bring at minimum two of of each item for each person coming from your church. But start asking your church now – you’ll be amazed at the response!
