MISSION NEWS

The Mission Team will feature one SCHOOL kit each quarter throughout the year.  This quarter we will be featuring the School kit for July, August, and September.  The School kit includes:
*    1 blunt scissors (rounded tip ONLY)
*    2 pads of 8X11 inch ruled paper (can use spiral bound notebooks)
*    1 – 30 centimeter ruler
*    1 hand held pencil sharpener
*    6 unsharpened pencils with erasers
· 1 – 21/2  inch eraser
*    12 sheets construction paper (varied colors)
· 1 box of 24 crayons (ONLY 24)

In some countries, children don’t have books or school supplies.  Many have no schoolrooms; classes are held in inadequate or half-destroyed buildings, tents, or even in the open air.  Often students must write down everything the teacher says or records on a board.  Their teacher’s knowledge and their own notes are their only textbooks.  School kits may be these children’s only educational resources.  This UMCOR kit is designed for a variety of ages. 
Place items in a see-through zip-lock bag so everything shows.  Then put into a 14" X 16" cloth bag with handles and a velcro closure.
