Portugal School Supply Drive

My name is Noah Gross and I currently attend La Salle Academy in Providence and live in Rehoboth. This summer I was able to collect over 200 pounds of school supplies to send to Portugal. They went to a small elementary school, in the poor village of Fenais da Ajuda. While this village is located on São Miguel, the biggest of the Portuguese Azorean islands, it is in a section of the island isolated from the major cities.

Education in these smaller villages only goes up until 4th grade. Then the student must endure a lengthy ride into the nearest city every day. Additionally due to the lower incomes of people living in the villages, most elementary schools are not well supplied.

This coming year I wish to expand to some of the surrounding villages who could also benefit from our help. These schools are looking for donations primarily of: notebooks, pencils, erasers, pens, coloring pencils, and any similar materials. Additionally monetary donations are appreciated. It allows us to buy new supplies in bulk, as well as pay for the cost of shipping the supplies.

Feel free to email me with any questions. I can pick up any supplies at your convenience.

Thank you in advance,
Noah Gross
