"He Gave Us Pencils!"

--by rajaratnamjones, posted Jul 11, 2012

I used to pass through a small school of 65 kids from Grade 1 to Grade 5. I always thought I should do something to make these kids happy.

It is a regional language school and most of the kids are from poor backgrounds.

I contacted the person in charge of the school and told her my wish. She agreed. So, the next day I went to the school with boxes of pencils, scissors and erasers.

Each box contained 10 pencils, one cutter, and one eraser. I had a box for every child.

The teachers got a surprise too. I gave them each a box as well!

Now when I pass through the school, and if any of those kids see me, they shout, "He is one who gave us pencils!" They do it with lot of smiles which, of course, makes me smile too!

God bless these kids!
