School Supply Drive, WSR Technology Supply Donation - Manny Sablan

WSR School Supply Drive For our Make-A-Difference project, my group and I decided to fund-raise to donate and give back to the WSR Elementary school. What our group observed while we were in elementary school was the need for school supplies. Almost everyday, some students would ask to borrow necessary school supplies such as pencils, sharpeners or even erasers.

My next action is packing the school materials and donating them to WSR.
