Dear Island School,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Stationery Drive for Refugee Children, and we invite each and every one of you to join us in making a positive difference in the lives of those who have been forced to flee their homes.
As you may know, many refugees and asylum seekers around the world have had to leave everything behind due to conflict, persecution, or other difficult circumstances. While they strive to rebuild their lives, they often lack access to basic educational supplies, including stationary items that we often take for granted.
We aim to collect essential supplies that can empower refugee students to pursue education and regain a sense of normalcy. We believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives, and your contributions can help bridge the gap and provide hope for a brighter future.
We have designated a collection point in the school lobby where you can drop off your donations. Please consider contributing any of the following items:
The stationery drive will continue until April 26th. We kindly request that all donations be brand new, unused or in good condition, as we want to ensure that the recipients receive quality supplies that will serve them well.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Together, we can empower refugee students to reach for their dreams and build a brighter future!
