Pens for Kids

In the autumn 2007 I was guide for the founder of Pens For Kids USA - Linda Schaffer - who accepted me as her Pens For Kids Ambassador in Tanzania.

Being a Pens For Kids Ambassador means that I receive pens sent to me from Linda and other donors and distribute them to kids in my local community at no charge.

Below you can see a few pictures from such an occasion.

Pens for Kids Tanzania

In 2014 I formed the charity organisation Pens for Kids Tanzania, which is a local branch office for the international Pens for Kids organisation.

Pens for Kids Tanzania receives donations from Pens for Kids organisations in industrialised countries - or directly from donors - and distribute the donated items to underprivileged kids in Tanzania.

You can find more information on Pens for Kids Tanzania on our website: www.pfk-tanzania.mono.net - together with our registration certificate and other authority documents.
