PENCILS for AFRICA!

I.S.A.B.T. is happy to announce our latest program: PENCILS for AFRICA!

Research conducted with students, teachers, and Headmasters in Africa has clearly indicated the value of pencils and pens in the classroom. In fact, it was often stated that if one item could be brought into the classroom, the simple pencil would provide the maximum impact. Unfortunately, financial situations in Africa dictates that many students are left without the means to write and take notes in the classroom effectively. This can impact their education dramatically.

We have begun working with Lantern Projects and a 4th grade class in California to provide students in Africa with Pens and Pencils. So far we have raised significant donations, enough to purchase well over 6,000 pencils!



We are organizing the distribution of this donation to six schools in Ghana, West Africa during the summer. Please consider joining this important project and stay tuned for more news as this program grows.
