School Supplies Needed for Guatemala

The children in Guatemala are getting ready to end their current school year and the new school session will begin in January, 2014.  School supplies are often too costly for families, so children are often unable to attend school.  Our team is excited to be able to bring school supplies as gifts this year.  We are looking for the following items:

Folders
Pens or pencils
Erasers
Staples/staples/staple removers
Rulers (with metric measurements)
Backpacks
NO PAPER PLEASE

We are requesting that the backpacks be "neutral" (no Disney characters or themes).  Please let us know if you'd like to help to supply a needy child with a backpack!  Contact Jenni Ramsey at jenni.ramsey@cox.net.
