I was privileged to talk to the sixty-five Year six girls and their teachers at St Cuthbert's College. The Year six girls had started a collection of stationery, which they would donate to Samoa these coming holidays. I had been asked to give a talk to the girls about my efforts so far to collect and donate stationery and they were keen for me to help with the donation to Samoa.
I talked with them about how I came up with the idea of Paper Pens Pencils, how I executed my plan into action to collect stationery and donate them to schools and about the stationery I took to Fiji. I discussed with them how I could help them and answered all their questions about my enterprise including questions like how I managed to count all the pens I have donated (yes I count them individually), or how I know what schools to donate to (I have a long list of decile one schools that I email asking if they need any stationery). They were all really interested in what I had done and enthusiastic about donating stationery to Samoa. Once I had finished talking I could tell they were buzzing with excited energy about the prospect of donating the stationery to Samoa and making a difference to the children's lives over there. I was told afterwards I had really inspired them so they decided to keep the stationery collection going for longer and collect more stationery and ended up filling both a large suitcase and a bag. I really enjoyed showing them that even as younger students they can make a difference together. I was so glad to have helped and inspired girls with the donation to Samoa because after visiting Fiji I know how much the stationery is appreciated at our neighbouring Pacific islands and I’m sure Samoa will be very grateful for this donation.
