A NEW pen for you is one for a friend in need when you use Yoobi stationery.

The Bachelor host Osher Gunsberg and Yoobi co-founder Lance Kallish visited Heckenberg Public School bearing gifts of stationery for every student at the school.

For every product bought, the company gives one to a child in need.

“Since launching in Australia in 2016, we’ve given 41,000 kids the stationery supplies they need so they can do their classwork and homework,” Mr Kallish said.

Mr Gunsberg sat with students to test out their new colourful pens, pencils and crayons.

“A lot of people don’t realise 1.1 million children and young people in Australia are living in poverty,” he said.

“Buying pens and pencils can be too much and students can fall behind because they can’t do their homework – that’s not okay.”

The company’s one for one policy means no-one gets left behind.

“When you have the right pen it inspires you to do the work,” Mr Gunsberg said.
