Help with Food
Today I had a chance to visit the Star of Hope supported schools in Boyer and a new school named Good Shepard. even though the children are busy studying for their year end exams, they are always glad to see visitors.
This time, Tony had pencil sharpeners for Good Shepard school. You see in February the children had a visitor from Great Bend, Kansas. While visiting she saw third graders sharpening their pencils with a double edged razor blade! As a nurse she was appalled.
Upon her return she approached a business who gladly ordered the old style heavy metal pencil sharpeners that will stand up under the heavy use. I got to deliver them and help install the first!
The joy on the faces of the first children who got to "sharpen their pencils" was something to behold. They kept saying thank you as their eyes showed how amazed they were at the clean sharp points. The grins were everywhere.
Just one simple act by a sponsor who gave of her time to ask a business friend who was so glad to help. That business was Office Products inc (OPI) Great Bend. If you are in the area stop and tell them thank you on behalf of the 300 children in the Good Shepard, Haiti School.
