VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) Water bottles, shampoo, food and inspirational messages, these are the kinds of things students from three local elementary schools are putting together to hand out Wednesday in the Downtown Eastside.
Students from Vancouvers Talmud Torah, Burnabys Ismaili Centre and St. Augustines Elementary are all taking part, with Tim Hortons providing the food.
It feels so amazing that we are doing this because I think that if everybody can come together to do something so amazing, it can have such a big impact, says one student.
Its nice to actually be getting out their and doing something, says another. It feels good to be giving other people things that they may not necessarily have.
I think doing it with the other schools makes a bigger impact. If Jews and Muslims can work together, why cant the world. I just think that is so inspiring.
Teacher Shoshana Burton is helping the kids put them together. So many kids got inspired by the concept, its just beyond belief. Weve had hundreds and hundreds of bags pouring into the school by kids who are so inspired by the message.
2000 care packages in all will be handed out in the Downtown Eastside.

Story highlights Jews have been living in Iran for more than 2,500 years 1,500 Jews call Esfahan home despite tensions between Iran and Israel Community leader: "Israel and Iran are countries, and we consider ourselves Iranian Jews"
The main synagogue is on Palestine Square, right in the heart of Iran's third largest city. There are public prayers several times a day -- sometimes with more than a hundred people in attendance.
The Jewish community in Iran does not hide its heritage. At the synagogue, Michael Malakon leads the prayer service. He says he is proud of his Jewish identity. And even in a country that is so hostile towards Israel, Malakon says he can practice freely and that he has many Muslim friends.
"I hang around with all kinds of young people and I have a lot of Muslim friends," Malakon tells CNN after finishing the noon prayer on a Monday. About 20 people were in attendance, usually from local businesses around the synagogue. None of them tried to hide the fact that they were Jewish -- and inside the synagogue the Star of David is proudly displayed in many places, alongside passages from the Torah.
There have been Jews in Iran for more than 2,500 years. Many left the country after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 that brought Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to power. Khomeini said Iran wanted to destroy Israel, but he also issued a fatwa, a religious decree, saying that Iranian Jews were different to those in Israel and should be considered an integral part of the Islamic Republic.
Sion Mahgrefte is the head of the Jewish community in Esfahan. He declined to comment directly on political matters, especially in the current heated environment, but he did say that the members of his community felt very much at home in Iran.
"Israel and Iran are countries," he said. "And we consider ourselves Iranian Jews, not Israeli Jews. So the hostilities between Israel and Iran do not affect us."
There is even a Jewish representative in Iran's parliament. And aside from the vibrant Jewish community in Esfahan -- there are 13 synagogues in the city -- there are also several Orthodox Cathedrals representing a sizable Christian community.
Most of Esfahan's Jews are business people. In the center of town there is a shopping mall, known to people here as the "Jewish Passage" because so many businesses are Jewish-owned. When our crew arrived there they found Muslim and Jewish shop owners joking around.
One of them is Said Shemyon, who owns a clothing store. His friends call him "Mordechai," and he showed us some Hebrew prayer books he always keeps in the store.
