Have You Ever Thought About Changing A Student’s Life Somewhere in Anatolia by Just Sending A Backpack Filled with School Supplies? Better yet, have you thought about changing the lives of children at a school in a remote part of Turkey by sending them backpacks filled with school supplies?

It is possible to give hope and to change a student’s life by just sending a backpack… In short term, you will make a student happy and motivate that child with a bright colored backpack filled with school supplies. In long term, you will give that student the hope that she/he matters in this world because somewhere around the world somebody cares for her/him to send something even if they have never met…That thought alone gives a child self confidence and motivate the child to do more at school…Imagine hundreds of children in Turkish rural area schools feeling valued and motivated…

For children of rural area families, having their own backpacks and school supplies makes an impact on their self esteem, interest in learning and class participation. Eventually it paves the way to a better future for them.

Would you like to join us in supporting a group of students at a school in rural Anatolia? If the answer is yes, please pick a school on our Map4Good and e-mail us at schoolbags4kids@bridgetoturkiye.org. One backpack filled with school supplies costs only $15.
