PENS School Supply Drive
Kerry Yang is an IB Diploma student. Here she is describing her CAS project, PENS:
"As the lack of education around the world is one of the most prevalent global crises, a lack of school supplies is fuelling the barrier to education. Not only are third-world regions affected such as Africa, but even in developed countries including Canada, students are missing out on valuable learning because they cannot access school supplies. While education is a fundamental right, a lack of education is also often the root of poverty, malnourishment, violence, disease, and other issues. Providing students with the necessary educational supplies would allow them to build up a foundation to escape low living standards and contribute positively to their communities.
The PENS community school supply drive aims to collect new or gently-used education tools for underprivileged students across the country. Last year, over 300 school supplies were collected for students across Africa and distributed among those who needed them the most. This year, with the support of the Government of Canada and a $750 Rising Youth Grant, the aim is to triple last year’s donations, despite the COVID pandemic. School supply boxes will be dispersed across Sudbury in schools, local businesses, and libraries from the beginning of December until February. In February, supplies will be sanitized and sorted before being distributed across Canada to schools in the territories, youth programs in Southern Ontario and locally to remote First Nation communities."
