Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Stationery Library


--by kiwicat , posted Jun 25, 2015
I teach at a school in a lower socio economic area. Often the kids have low nutritional food and have challenges at home (over crowding, staying with relatives...)

I was tired of hearing 'I haven't got a pencil/pen/ruler..." So I bought some extra supplies on the weekend. Today I had a stationery library, they could borrow, but they had to pay with an act of kindness on the lunch breaks!

They offered to pick up litter, play with the younger students, help a teacher at lunchtime. I hope the novelty doesn't wear off!
