Support HotelwithHeart.com's Pencil Project

"A pencil is just a small tool, but just like all other tools, it can be powerful." - HotelwithHeart.com Facebook Page

Give a child a pencil. Make a difference and give underprivileged kids a brighter future!

HotelwithHeart.com launches its Pencil Project. It aims to raise 10,000 pencils to support Dynamic Teen Company's "Kariton Klasrum Project." Through this endeavor, underprivileged children will get a decent supply of pencils to help them learn the basics of writing, reading and arithmetic.

Your signature means a lot to a child's education.

Take part and support this Digital Signature Campaign. By signing up in their Facebook page, HotelwithHeart.com will donate 1 pencil to DTC for every digital signature collected. One successful digital signature is equivalent to one pencil and one happy child. It only takes a few seconds to sign-up.

Every child deserves an education. In our own little way, we can give a child a pencil and create change in the life of a child.

The HWH Pencil Project Campaign will run from June 1 to July 15, 2011. Visit this link to participate in this digital signature campaign.

Are You a 100% Guilt Free Shopper?

It's interesting to know that by shopping differently, anyone can change the lives of millions of people around the world!

World Fair Trade Organization Asia (WFTO Asia) recently launched its '100% Guilt Free Shopper' campaign in Shangri-La Plaza Grand Atrium last May 14. The campaign aims to inform and empower consumers that they have the power to Beat Poverty, Beat Climate Change, Beat Exploitation, Beat Discrimination and Beat Ignorance by switching to Fair Trade.
