Make a Difference Today: Donate to the Year of the Pencil Campaign

On November 20th, this movement placed over 100,000 pencils into the hands 

of children across Sierra Leone in 20 schools.

Each pencil tells a story — of hope, opportunity, and possibility. 

Education is more than lessons — it’s liberation.

Every $25 helps children write their dreams.
