Backpacks for Peace | Remembering Jesse Parker, Inc.

	Thanks to generous support, we have been able to provide “hope” to more than 1,500 children in Uganda. “Hope” in the form of a small drawstring backpack decorated by child in Wisconsin including a message of hope and friendship. Each bag is filled with a toothbrush, notebook, and pencil. Most Ugandan children, if they have any school supplies, carry them in a small used garbage bag. The children are delighted by the gift of friendship and since most can read English they love the encouraging notes.
