Make change in classrooms around the world!
Sister Schools

Learn about the needs of students and classrooms at home and abroad, and donate school supplies to students around the world. You’ll learn about life in Uganda through a slide presentation and assembly. Then it’s your job to raise money and collect supplies from your school community to send to kids in orphanages and schools in Africa. You’ll see photos of the items being delivered to your new sister school in Uganda. Your fellow students will appreciate this project, and you’ll learn about different ways schools are operated around the world. Keep in contact with your new sister school through pen pals, and make friends with students you would normally never have the opportunity to meet. The Sister Schools project makes a real difference in the lives of students and teachers just like you! www.sisterschools.org
