What Small things Can Do
"Hammond School in Columbia, SC collected 17,376 pencils! A new record!"
Quote extracted from the uRising Fountains July 2007 Newsletter: "The
Pencil Project, a USA based nonprofit, www.thepencilproject.com, recently donated boxes of pencils for the children at Lundazi’s local commnity
school in the village. It is amazing how something as small as
a pencil, something many of us take for granted, could bring such
joy, excitement, and opportunity to the lives of children. Having a pencil
to write
with
means that the children do not need to use sticks to write on
the floor anymore. The pencils represent the importance and value of education.
Fortunately,there
is a project dedicated to making the lives of children happy
one
pencil at a time. " www.risingfountains.org
