Inspired by Carol McCloud's book Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide To Daily Happiness For Kids, families at Children of Integrity Montessori Academy in Coquitlam have come together to provide hundreds of filled bags for the yearly Ten Thousand Villages' School Kit Program.

The bags are filled with school supplies and shipped to countries of need.

The hand-sewn multi-use fabric bags are supplied by the non-profit store locations.

The goal is to help provide a brighter future for those in less fortunate countries, while demonstrating to local children the power of caring.
