About

Kits for Kids

Each year, teachers and students in schools and community groups get together to participate in Project Love Sudan. While learning about life in a developing country, they raise funds to buy school supplies for children and teachers who need them, and to help cover the costs of shipping.

Next they assemble the ProjectLoveSudan kits - each of which contains a pencil, an eraser, a notebook and a ruler in a zipper-closing freezer bag. Often participants select Valentine's Day as the focal point of their activities, but many also decide to schedule Project Love Sudan around other dates.

Once the kits are packed into boxes, arrange for a courier pickup (shipping information - PDF) and ship your boxes to the International Book Bank Warehouse in Baltimore, MD. CODE arranges to have the boxes shipped to the South Sudan through the International Book Bank.

*NP: A Shipping Contribution of $2/kit is requested and sent in one check to IBB/Project Love Sudan, PO Box 1662, Baltimore MD, 21203.

 
The Cargo Leaves Port

Duk County in the South Sudan is this year's recipient for ProjectLoveSudan kits. Among those that have benefited from Project Love kits in the past are Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Senegal and Tanzania.

 
The Kits Arrive

Once the ProjectLoveSudan kits arrive, they are cleared through customs and delivered to students in schools in the country of destination. The destination for ProjectLoveSudan kits in 2007-2008 will be Duk County, South Sudan.

CODE works in partnership with local organizations in developing countries to provide books and learning materials to children, support skills development among teachers and librarians, strengthen education networks and promote literate environments.

ProjectLoveSudan addresses many requirements of school curricula. It is a springboard to a wide range of lessons and activities, and a powerful tool for introducing global issues to youth. Look at the Educational Resource Materials.

ProjectLoveSudan provokes curiosity and discovery. It allows students to learn about children and education in other countries. It sparks interest, discussion and creativity in the classroom.
