Behind the Scenes: Preparing 100,000 Pencils for Distribution
World Children’s Day marked a major milestone. But before distribution came preparation.
For months, the Develop Africa Sierra Leone team worked behind the scenes:
- Counting
- Sorting
- Packaging
- Labeling
Students, staff, and scholarship beneficiaries joined the effort.
“I feel proud knowing these pencils will support other students like me.” — Mbalu
“Every pencil represents hope.” — Musa
19 Schools. One Shared Goal.
This project shows what community looks like in action.
Each pencil may seem small. In the hands of a student, it becomes a tool for progress.
