This gift provides hope for the future for a child. School kits contain basic things an eager student in the developing world needs to make education possible: a notebook, a ruler, pencils, a pencil sharpener, an eraser, paper, crayons and scissors. When the kit reaches a child who lacks these basics, the first step can be taken on the path that leads to knowledge, hope and self-sufficiency!

Church World Service works in partnership around the world to help provide children with food, shelter, and health care, as well as the opportunity to learn and grow into the persons they were meant to be. Check out www.churchworldservice.org [1] for more.
