🎒 July 2025 Mission to the Dominican Republic: School Supplies for over 500 Children
This July, our team — Lilly, Tracey, Jeff, and Nelson — will return to the Dominican Republic with a powerful purpose. Our mission is to deliver school supplies to students at Colegio de Christianos and Celeste de Faro for the 2025–2026 school year.
Thanks to a generous donation of 300 pounds of school supplies from a wholesale partner — and continued support from private donors — we’re able to do more than ever before. This year, we’ll fill over 500 backpacks with the essentials each student needs to start the school year with confidence.
📚✏️ For many of these children, basic learning tools are not easy to come by. However, your support is helping change that — one backpack at a time.

In September, we’ll personally deliver these backpacks to the students. Afterward, we’ll share photos so you can see the joy your generosity brings.
This marks our third year serving students in this region. Each year, the impact grows — not just in numbers, but in hope.
Because of you, Pencils with Passion is building more than backpacks. We’re building futures.
Together, we’re not just giving supplies — we’re giving hope.
