Project Description
In 2001, Lacy visited his former Art Teacher and family friend Judy Newhall at Riverview Elementary School. Following his presentation and discussion, Mrs. Newhall and her students corresponded with Lacy while he was on an extended field study in Mali. They sent letters of support, art supplies, stickers, pencils, and original artwork for Malian students. Meanwhile, California second-grade teacher Melissa Mallory worked with her students to send even more educational and art supplies. These early gifts to Malian students were the first stage in the development of Operation School Bag. Over the years, the Lacy family and several schools in California and Ohio have raised funds annually to provide school supplies for each student in the Dissan primary school. African Sky purchases most of the annual school supplies in regional markets in Mali (to promote Malian merchants and conserve on international shipping).
