Thirteen elementary school children from Farrer and Franklin elementary schools in Provo thanked the workers at Nu Skin Wednesday for kits containing school supplies.The 10-year anniversary of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation was celebrated by the employees of Nu Skin and United Way by giving back to the community and world. A Force for Good is a non-profit foundation dedicated to helping children throughout the world have a better life.
"I like science books. It's my favorite class," said Jared Araujo, a fourth-grader at Franklin Elementary with dreams of being a dentist.
A total of 10,000 educational kits were put together to go to 10 organizations, six of which are educational organizations -- schools or programs that help underprivileged kids -- in Utah that were recommended by United Way. Of the 10,000 kits, 1,500 will go internationally to help children in Thailand, Indonesia and Ukraine.
