About this service
The Pencil Case Project is a project that helps school aged children and their teachers from around the world. Each year a country in need is selected and flyers go out to the donor schools and partners to begin coordination. We collect gently used and new school supplies from all over the Tri-Cities (Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge), London, Hamilton, and the GTA, wijth the help of our SSVP brothers and sisters from these areas. These school supplies are sorted, counted, packaged, and shipped off to the chosen country in a 20-foot container. On average, we ship over 7,000 pounds of material. This initiative was started to help give children the opportunity for an education, while having a better school experience by providing the supplies for the classroom that are easily accessible to us here in Canada. Countries that we have assisted are: Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Philippines, Rwanda, and Trinidad/Tobago.
