This is what Aura Obando, Family Team Physician at BHCHP, has to say about handing out the backpacks we donate. So much appreciation!

Since school has started, we've been missing all the fun work we did this summer, but there's no better feeling than knowing we helped so many kids go back to school smiling and excited. No school work is quite as powerful and engaging as shopping for supplies and packing backpacks! 

This is the Facilities Director at BHCHP, who helped deliver their 125 backpacks around Boston before school started. BHCHP is one of the most grateful recipients of our backpacks, and we love to see where the backpacks go once they leave us. 

We received an extremely generous donation of 100 elementary school backpacks from Esperos bags this summer, a company that shares our dedication to helping every child receive an education with the supplies they need to succeed. With every backpack Esperos sells, they help fund a year of education for underprivileged children, donating 10% of their profits. We partnered with them because they were interested in sharing their efforts with children in the Boston area by providing us with wonderful backpacks to distribute.

We asked for elementary school backpacks that we gave to many lucky kids in grades K-2. The Scout backpacks, sold for $49.99, are the perfect size for a young elementary schooler to carry, easily fitting the necessities, even large sheets of construction paper. They are brightly colored on the outside, and the interiors are lined with the signature Esperos railroad stripe pattern. The canvas is water resistant, free of harmful chemicals and dyes, very durable, and comfortable to carry, but definitely made for light packing. We believe every student will feel confident with these classic looking bags that are built for function and style. 

Thanks to Esperos, so many children we helped will be carrying hope this year. 

We started school this week, and we finished the summer having provided 707 backpacks to underprivileged students in Massachusetts. This was a new record, beating 702 in 2014. Thanks again to all our donors for staying loyal to us for so many years, and good luck to our new directors, Noel Gridley and Aryana Moghaddam, in continuing this fulfilling work in 2017!
