Jared is a young man who decided that he wanted to help make a difference.  He set up a fundraiser called Jared's pencils and is working to raise funds and collect pencils.  

Jared says "I have chosen this project because the struggle that the kids in Africa have with education concerns me, and I want to make it easier for them to learn. "  

Jared says "Thanks of your donations so far I have packed 48 cases with supplies and hopefully more to come!  Overall I have collected over 1,400 pencils!  Keep them coming! Although we have accomplished a lot so far i still would like to receive a lot more pencil cases and erasers."
