I did a bit of reading and discovered that many children in Senegal aren't able to receive a quality education because of a shortage of funds and school supplies. There's an article covering how Western Union donated a million pencils to school children in Senegal to help their education. Apparently, "providing something as simple as a single pencil can put undue financial burden on the typical Senegalese family." Only 58% of children go to primary school, but the classes are often overcrowded, and the conditions are poor. I think your donation of a pen may have helped more than most people can imagine. :)
