We recently decided to get involved with a project that intrigued an employee here at The Law Office of David R Rocheford Jr.
Amber brought Right-To-Write information to Attorney Rocheford and he immediately saw the need and understood the mission. Their story is very inspiring and we felt it a good fit for our group, thank you Amber!
Please take a look…
In many parts of the world, owning a pen or pencil is a luxury that some families cannot
afford. It is hard to imagine. Receiving an education without a writing utensil is even harder to imagine. Education can help achieve success and stability in a person’s life but without the basics, it is so much harder.
Right-to-Write is a unique and simple program designed to put new and used pens and pencils to good use by collecting and then dispensing them to children in developing countries. Donated pens and pencils are delivered to schools, orphanages, and hospitals by individual volunteers, travelers, and organizations who can distribute them hand to hand, person to person, to children who need them. Through this effort Right-to-Write achieves many unique positive goals:
- facilitating better education for kids
- recycle pens and pencils that are “extras” in offices, handbags, houses, etc.
- promoting positive global alliances and friendships through direct face-to-face contact
- ensuring delivery and avoiding delivery cost, blackmarkets, and lost goods
Please check out their website to learn more. Simply drop your pens and pencils at our collection bin in our office lobby, preferably in a ziploc bag.
