Export variables to subshells

So i have a script that is like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

VARA="elementary 1
elementary 2
nursery A
nursery B
highschool AZ"

echo "${ContentOfADifferentSCRIPT}" | sh


i do not have control over the script that is inside the variable "${ContentOfADifferentSCRIPT}".

however, i know that the script content of the variable ${ContentOfADifferentSCRIPT}" needs the content of the variable "${VARA}".

how do i make the ${VARA} variable available to the "${ContentOfADifferentSCRIPT}" variable when I pipe and run sh on it?

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
