Empowering children in education one backpack at a time!
First and foremost,
thank you
Thank you. Your gift of time today will impact the lives of children that are excited to have education in their lives, to chase dreams, and to work to make the world we share a better place. Millions of children worldwide are struggling with extreme poverty. If these students are lucky enough to attend school, they often don’t have the resources to purchase the necessary school supplies. WeHero, alongside our corporate and non-profit partners, are aggressively trying to resolve this issue. We are sourcing the necessary supplies to make these students successful in the classroom and to create equal opportunities for those underserved.
The Experience
This event delivers support in two key areas:
1. Partnering with school districts and local government agencies to ensure that children who rely on schools for access to educational materials have supplies outside of the classroom.
2. Generating awareness around gaps in education and how education is one of the most important factors for creating social equality.
Today, you’ll be putting together education access packs for students. The supplies you are providing are difficult to procure in the areas where these packs will be going, or are unaffordable for families.
The packs are designed to be fun and to inspire the kids to want to go and stay in school. You’ll be adding your own touch and message to each kit you’ll produce, drawing fun pictures on the bags, and leaving the kids letters of encouragement. The most powerful aspect of these packs, are the drawings on the bags and the letters you leave them. These notes inspire children by showing them that someone in their local community or across the globe, thought of them, and gave them a very special kit to go to school.
Instructions
We work to keep things as simple as possible. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your event coordinator or reach out to “Kai” (WeHero Super Dog) in the lower-right corner of this page.

Step 1: Time to decorate the bag
Kids have a tough time staying in school. Inspire them! Make the bags fun with the sharpies we’ve included for you. Pictures, quotes, your signature – they’re all welcome. This makes each pack different and special. We can’t wait to see what you create!
Note: Sharpies and other art items can bleed so we recommend putting a couple of sheets of paper inside the bag to prevent any mess.
Step 2: Add all the items to each bag
The inventory list below states each item that needs to go into the bag. Please put the pencils in the pencil bag. The sharpies are yours to keep and don’t need to go into the bags.

Step 3: Letter writing
One of the most important touches to the kits. The children who will receive these kits may not have the support needed to stay in school and without that, it’s easy to give up. Inspire them. Use the WeHero notepaper to write them a short letter. Encourage them to study and keep working to achieve their dreams. It’s very impactful to see that someone is thinking of them.

Step 4: Re-box
Please put the completed packs back in the boxes received so they’re ready for pick up!
Step 5: Photo time!
Take a photo of yourself with your completed kits and share the experience with your friends and family. This is an opportunity to spread awareness and share the act of kindness. Be sure to tag WeHero when you post on social media!
