Paper and Pencils for a Cause

THIS IS A STICKY POST.

Please scroll down for new posts.

When we were still living in Singapore, I joined a group called FreeCycle to give household items we don’t use anymore. I have seen that people where also offering school items. So I though hey the local elementary school where we have our plantation could really use these items. So I started collecting these school items for the kids and we sent boxes of the supplies to the school. The children, teachers and parents were all so happy to receive this unexpected surprise.

Now that we are living here in the Philippines, we give every year a cash prize for the valedictorian at the end of every school year. This way the kids will  be encouraged to work hard to get a reward for their hard work.

My son is turning one this December, and I thought of doing something extra nice for the kids of the school again. I hope to give them gifts that they can use for school. There are 186 students in this school.

Can you help me make them smile this December?

You can help Paper and Pencils for a Cause by:

1. Sending paper, pencils, pens and other school supplies. You can also send your unwanted but usable supplies like bags, pens, notepads etc. Your not only helping the children but you are also helping the planet by letting somebody else use what you cannot use.

2. Spreading the word about this cause. You can blog about this, share it on your Facebook wall/ page. and/or twitter, you can also add the badge above to your blog sidebar.

3. Send financial donations. Your donation would make a huge difference in their education and their lives. The money that we will receive will be used to buy new supplies and to cover the shipping cost of the supplies to the schools. If there is some extra money left, we will do a feeding program as well for the little ones.

Just a few dollars will go a long way in helping these children. You can send your donation to paypal id: jade.samson (at) ymail (dot) com
