Action Alert | A Back To School Bookbag Campaign

13Aug08

The Action Committee is accepting collections of school supplies to distribute amongst under-privileged students in the Kingdom. The last day to receive any donations is next Tuesday the 19th. The committee is looking for the following items:

- Backpacks & pencil cases.
- Sweatpants, sweatshirts, socks (for P.E.)
- Pencils, pens, erasers, rulers.
- Notebooks, both English and Arabic.
- Geometry sets (for grades 5 & up).
- Glue sticks, colored pencils & markers.

You can volunteer for this campaign in a couple of ways:

1) Donations: either financially or any of the above mentioned items.

2) Packing the items.

3) Help us distribute the bags.

Also, if you’re a blogger, feel free to re-blog this post on your own blog. Spread the word!

Thanks Momma. I wrote to Naseem and he wrote to Sara and here it is. Word of mouth, power of the people.

I think its a great idea. I work in one of the recognized stationary companies in UAE and will forward this URL to the regional office to forward it in return to the Jordanian distributor of this brand. I am optimistic of their positive contribution.
