The Back Pack Project

John from Malawi with his new backpackThe Scottish International Relief is a charity delivering aid to children from very poor families in countries like Malawi to help them go to school.  It does this by inviting school pupils in the UK to fill up an old school bag with everyday school things like rulers, jotters, pencils etc.  These bags are then given out to children who really need them.  We would like to help so when summer comes, please hold onto your old school bag and fill it with items you no longer use.  Items that can be put into a Back Pack are:-

Pencils Rulers Erasers
Jotters Crayons Pens
Sharpeners Pencil Case Tennis Ball
Summer Dress T-Shirts Towel
Shorts Sandals/Flip Flops Soap
Toothpaste Toothbrush Spoon

Please only pack the items listed above as they are useful.  They don’t have to be new just as long as they are in good condition.

A reminder will be given nearer the time.  We hope you will support this cause.
