PENS OF HOPE 3RD DISTRIBUTION

My recount of my experience on a pencil distribution day ^.^

Beneficiaries

Pens of Hope in Davao is an outreach program initiated to help address the scarcity of writing materials in the Philippines, particularly in Davao City. The idea, which was originally conceptualized by Nortehanon, a blogger from Northern Samar, is now being implemented by the alumni and existing volunteers of Social Involvement Coordinating Office (SICO), the social arm of Ateneo de Davao University.

And Beyond Art's Sake CEBU) is a movement to bridge the gap between artists, art lovers, and charitable individuals; making art accessible to everyone regardless of financial, social or cultural background. It is a space in the World Wide Web where artworks of amateurs and professionals are placed side by side, towards a common goal of fostering charity, one artwork at a time. It is a group of individuals who are willing to share their time, effort, and resources to give artists a venue to share their artworks, in any form, for the benefit of our countrymen in need.One of the projects they support through art is Nortehanon's Pens of Hope. Many artists contribute their drawings, sell them to art lovers and use the proceeds in buying writing materials. See All the artworks.

And Me as ONE of the volunteer of PENS OF HOPE DAVAO. Come up the idea to sale NECKLACE,BANGLES,EARRINGS,DRAWINGS to support the ADVOCACY.

 July 17 OUTREACH ACTIVITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF PENS OF HOPE DAVAO OF TYBS WINNERS

We were privileged enough to meet people who are willing to extend not only hopes and dreams, but also time and effort, as well as share the same vision of the advocacy campaign of Pens of Hope and Beyond Artsake.  Last July 17, we held a get-together of people who will play a possible important key role in making this vision a reality.  Everybody brought Chips and other food to share, as a start of the practice of giving.  It takes time and practice to cultivate the habit of giving without any second thoughts and we hope to instill in the minds and hearts of the people we touch through our activities "that a small act of kindness goes a long way".
