A school kit may provide the only supplies for children returning to school after the disruption of war. For example, after a 30-year war, Angolans have established schools and provided teachers but have little access to supplies. School kits may help parents continue their children's education, even while living in a refugee camp. A school kit may also be used in adult literacy classes.
Label contents clearly on the outside of the box.
Use strong cartons secured with packing tape. Out of concern for warehouse staff, please do not allow each box's weight to exceed 40 pounds. Please do not use plastic or paper bags to pack donations. Consider sharing shipping arrangements with neighboring Lutheran parishes. Write the name and address of your congregation on each box, label contents, and send prepaid to the LWR warehouse closest to you.
