Education is one of the strongest tools a community has for breaking the cycle of poverty. Lutheran World Relief (LWR) School Kits contain essential supplies to help children – and in some cases, adults – continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. That learning leads to a better life for them, their families, and their communities. This glorifies God. The items below are included in each kit. All items should be new. • Four 70-sheet notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper, • One 30-centimeter ruler • One pencil sharpener • One pair of blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well) • Five unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers • Five black or blue ballpoint pens (no gel ink) • One box of 16 or 24 crayons • One 2 ½” eraser
