Pencils with a Purpose
Pencils with a Purpose is a non-for profit organization. We help children in 3rd world countries with school supplies. I started collecting pencils after a met a little girl named Juanita in Nicaragua using a pencil as little as her pinky. She was going to use that pencil until she could no longer used it. She even wrote my name on the wall. I thought her mom would get upset and she simply said “my mom lets me write on the wall when I do not have paper. The family valued education. She would walk about one hour to get to school. The school was very simple. No decorations, no posters, no extra items, just plain white walls.
