2007 Backpack Drive 2006 Backpack Drive "When the seat you are sitting on is broken...when you have stubby pencils or no pencils to write with... when the school itself is tired...when there is no library...when there are no baseballs, or basketballs, or play equipment...and when school is the best part of your day because when you return home, the conditions are even worse... It's very hard for a young child to keep his or her dreams alive." (from the Heartleap video) School supplies are just one ingredient to the chance for a child to be competitive in school. But they're foundational. Rainbow Backpacks are our solution to the problem our kids face. A Rainbow Backpack is a kid's backpack filled with enough school supplies for one child for one year. And as many of these children walk miles to school, the pack is as important as the supplies. Please help us gather school supplies. The links below detail the contents of a Rainbow Backpack, ideas for gathering school supplies in your local area, and how to get a copy of our Heartleap video.
