Give your old schoolbag a new life
- Did you know that many children in Kenya walk several miles to school every day, often carrying their books in cardboard boxes, plastic bags, or simply under their arms?
- A simple schoolbag can make a huge difference, helping children carry their learning safely, with dignity and pride.
Titsey Rotary Club is working with Bags of Hope, based in Caterham, to collect used school bags, rucksacks, book bags and laptop bags (no handbags). Bags need to be A4 sized with a working zip.
If you have any suitable bags please consider donating them.
