Philanthropy - , New York, United States
Right to Write is a unique and simple program designed to put new and used pens and pencils to good use by collecting and then dispensing them to children in developing countries. Donated pens and pencils are delivered to schools, orphanages, and hospitals by individual volunteers, travelers, and organizations who can distribute them hand to hand, person to person, to children who need them. Our mission is to embrace the notion that a simple deed, such as recycling or gifting a pen or pencil, a tool to use for education, has the potential to change a child's life. We aim to encourage education through the donation of writing utensils at minimal cost.
