PENCIL

PENCIL. When you see this word, what do you think of? A writing tool? A graphic tool? A communication tool? Well, you wouldn't be wrong, they are all of that and more. Our organization, Characters of Character has partnered with another organization named PENCILwho work with the Metropolitan Schools of Nashville to provide them resources needed in classes, schools and the daily teaching of the children in the community. We are proud to share that they will accept up to 500 of our Confidence Building Activity Boxes to donate to those in need through the schools! We have had this logo for many years and being a new nonprofit in Tennessee, well, it's meant to be!

This is going to be one of our 2023 projects here in Tennessee and are proud to be a part of the community. If you would like to donate, sponsor or learn how you can make a difference in the life of a child, please contact me, Joni.

What is included in each box? A lot of Smiles, too!

Our children and youth could use positive affirmations, building self-esteem in who they are and encourage them to grow into the best version of themself. It takes a village and the village needs your support.. We hope you'll join us in making a difference in the life of a child in 2023 which will empower them for life. Thank you.
