During the summer holidays, I went back home to see my family. On one of the days I visited my aunt's orphanage and saw the amazing and inspiring work she was doing. I was motivated by how remarkable the organisation is.

Surprisingly, the largest problem, she told me, was not food, nor heating or clean water: it was stationery.

This took me a couple of seconds to process. This had never struck me previously: how can something so basic be in such high demand with such little supply? Having thought about it most of that night, I resolved in embarking on a project of my own. I will provide stationery for each one of the 52 orphans.
