Today the school kits donated by many of our loyal supporters arrived in a large Fed Ex truck at the ACF Mission's office in Princeton, Illinois. These boxes of school supplies along with many shoes, boots, socks, blankets, and other humanitarian aid will be loaded onto a 40 foot shipping container in early August. The aid is being sent to Fundatia Buckner where staff and volunteers will distribute all of the aid to the needy children and families in which God has entrusted to our care.
The aid collected during the 2016 Project Respond aid drive helps ACF reach our mission of reaching, teaching and transforming the lives of vulnerable children in Romania. Because of our generous supporters we will meet the needs of the teachers in Romania who need these vital school supplies to be able to properly educate the children in their classrooms.
The kits are customized to meet the exact needs of the teachers at the Point of Hope Development Center. Each kit includes: large pack of construction paper, water colors, filler paper, 8 piece marker set, colored pencils, erasers, glue stick, highlighter, dry erase marker, pens of 3 different colors, metric ruler, and scissors. The actual retail cost of all these supplies is over $20. Even at sale prices the value of the kit exceeds $18. ACF was also to add may other items to the shipping container thanks to our generous donors. This year we were able to include 400 sheets of colored poster board, printer paper, staplers, correction fluid, post-it notes and many other items that will benefit our teachers at the Point of Hope Development Center. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!
