NW Ohio School Supplies
PEN Trust wishes to thank NW Ohio Lutheran Synod for their synod-wide collection of school supplies. These were added to the Peterson container that arrived in late October. They included pencils, pens, crayons, markers, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, scissors, paint sets, tape, rubber bands, staplers, notebooks, filler paper, folders, washcloths, safety pins and much more…
It took three full weeks to sort the school supplies as there were 7 ½ pallets of supplies, encyclopedias, dictionaries and primary textbooks as well. We are also grateful to Books For Africa for allowing us to add these school supplies to our container. 
Pencil sharpeners of all shapes, colors and sizes. Children here as young as three use razor blades for sharpening their pencils.
Watercolor Paint sets and extra brushes.
“Prize Pencils” that will be given to students as special treats.
Book Bags from NW Ohio that have been packed with school supplies for a few of our scholarship students for Christmas gifts. Students also receive food from Feed My Starving Children each month as well.
