Make the start of the school year easier for needy children! (x)

How much joy did a new school bag, or even a nice set of colored pencils, a shaped eraser bring you in your childhood? And how good does it feel to see the same happiness on the face of our elementary school child?

However, there are settlements where students cannot experience this feeling at the end of the summer, because their parents not only can't buy a new pen holder, but often can't even buy bread at the end of the month. For families living in catchment areas, the purchase of school bags, gym equipment and other school supplies is often out of reach. The lack of a single tool - be it a notebook, a compass or a ruler - can significantly hinder them in their everyday learning.

Make it different!
