This movement was created on Tuesday, April 8th (2008), after the team had an hour long of tutoring. Pretty much this was created by accident.
Pen (one of the team's member) complained and gave a rant on how it wasn't her destiny to write her History assignment on that particular day because of the little amount of usable pens that are located in the house. At first she used a black pen which was a really nice and okay kind of pen, but not long after that, the pen died. Then she used another pen, which 'looks' okay, but it turned out to be a red pen. She searched high and low for an eligible pen, but she seems to can't find one. So she told Pencil (team member) about everything. Fortunately, Pencil has a lot of pens and/or pencil in her house. Pen asked Pencil to donate one of her pens and/or pencil. Then, the idea to make a Donate A Pen And/Or Pencil movement came to them.
They started to discuss about things and realized that a lot of people have the same problems too. The more they think about it, the more they want this movement to be shared all over the world. So people can relate to their problems.
A few hours passed. Pen started searching the net for a free web hosting site (since they don't have any money in the bank to pay for the website's fee). After a long and tiring search, she finally come to a conclusion to use Freewebs for her humble cause.
A few clicks here and there, some more registration, doing those editing and stuff, finally the site was born.
