Islamabad Volunteer Kids’ “One Bag, One Child” Campaign

via jang.com.pk

A group of children, along with their families and friends, have launched an organisation by the name of Volunteer Kids (VK) to help out earthquake victim children. VK wants every child to donate a new or used schoolbag containing a number of items in it. These can include colouring pencils or chalks, colouring book or slate, pencil, rubber, sharpener, toys, sweets and a toilet bag containing soap, hair brush or comb, toothpaste etc. Anyone between the ages of 5 years to 18 years can register and a data bank of young volunteers would be created. Children who want to volunteer may do so at www.volunteerkidz.com or contact on 0300-5529545
