Comments on: We are now beginning the sixth term of our pen distribution program that began in the fall of 2007. This week, we will distribute pens to over 13,000 elementary school children in Malawi, encouraging them to work hard and stay in school. Over the past year, attendance in participating schools has gone up by 30% due to the simple addition of pens in the classroom. This figure is higher among girls, who typically must drop out of school because family resources (including pens) are given to boys first.
