Come help us with our annual Broken Crayon Project! Every year, we put out a call to teachers, students, and families at the end of the school year to donate their used school supplies to this project. Because of our mission to serve the far-flung islands of Micronesia, we are able to send these school supplies to communities that need them. We will need your help to collect, box, and prepare these donations for shipping. 

Preparation Instruction:

• Contact Ayuda Foundation to sign up for the project. Contact info is listed below. They will inform you as to the location of the packing site. We usually know by the end of the current school year.
• Arrange for a time when your help is needed at the designated school.. 
• Read up on the Federated States of Micronesia. (http://www.visit-micronesia.fm/about/index.html) so you will get a sense of where the supplies will be going to and the importance of this project.
• Remember to bring water and wear appropriate clothing (packing boxes, taping, marking, moving boxes).

Activity Instruction:

• Report to the designated school, sign in at the office and inform them that you are there to help with the Broken Crayon Project. You will be directed to the site.
• Sign in to the project leader.
• Follow instructions given by the project leader. 
• Give your contact info to the project leader before you leave so he/she can send you your certificate of participation.
• Sign out.
• If possible, take pictures and post to social media using the hashtag #guamservicelearning #brokencrayonproject #ayudafoundation

Reflection Instruction:
In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection needs to be turned in to a teacher who can input the hours into Power School. You need to address: What did you do? What did you learn? (Include what you learned about the outer islands in the Federated States of Micronesia)  How was this an example of public service? (Include what you learned about the importance of reducing, reusing, recycling) and helping those who lack the resources that we do in Guam.
