A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, Confucius wrote.  For Tom Affleck, the journey that would take him to the creation of SchoolBOX began with a notebook and a pencil.  His inspiration for SchoolBOX, a non-profit organization whose main mandate is to build schools and provide educational materials to poor children in Latin America, came to him by chance on a business trip to northern Nicaragua in 2006.  Upon leaving, he handed out a few pens and notebooks he had on him to some kids.  One of the parents said to his little girl– her name was Sandra, he found out later– “Now that you have a notebook and a pencil, you’re able to go to school”.
