Share a Pencil Day - 20th May 2020

We are delighted to be joining forces with Gulwali Passarlay, Founder of My Bright Kite and award-winning author of The Lightless Sky, for Vent For Change’s annual Share A Pencil Day. This UK wide global education awareness day is taking place this coming Wednesday 20th May and we’d love you to get involved!

The day is designed to teach UK school children some of the key reasons why millions of children worldwide still cannot go to school. This year, adapting to the current health situation, Vent For Change have created a work from home set of lesson plans so everyone can join in. This year for elder children there is a focus on Children on the Move, refugee and displaced children.

Our humanKINDER contribution includes our favourite story from Gulwali’s book about cooking in the mountains of Afghanistan with his grandparents. We have included a simple flat bread recipe for you to cook at home and also the exciting opportunity to be entered in a Prize Draw to feature in our forthcoming Cookbook!

All the learning resources are available to download for free, with accompanying notes for parents, teachers and educators. Please do share this with your friends, family and teachers and use the hashtags #ShareAPencilDay and #RecipesofHOPE2020
