Little Apprentice

By | For kids, Giving Back, What's New at Starbucks? | 6 Comments

Last November 27 and 28, 2008, the Transition Class of The Young Learners Collaborative ( YLC )  had a Food Fair. The fair was a culminating activity on the topic “Little Apprentice”. YLC is a school owned and operated by my friend, Tricia Eusebio-Hosaka together with Gina Gloria and Anette Del Rosario.  

 

The idea was to cook and sell snacks to all the students of YLC and the proceeds of the fair will go to a foundation

They declared a “NO BAON DAY” so that all the kids, parents and teachers could purchase snacks from the Transition Class.

The students were able to raise the amount of  Php 5722.55 which they wanted to donate to the Starbucks foundation:”Spark Hope”.

So, Heart2Heart arranged a meeting for the YLC children and a Starbucks branch near the

school, Tomas Morato branch, last December 17, so the  students could personally donate the money. They requested that a representative from UNICEF be there  to explain to the students where their donation will go to.  What a great idea Tricia!! Thank you for choosing Spark Hope!  Tricia told me that Starbucks matched their donation that day…

A Gift That Will Inspire Someone to Volunteer!

By | Giving Back | One Comment

Thanks to Rookie and Ana for giving us this beautiful book!!  It is a great gift and very inspiring indeed!  Thanks also to Nicole Olbes-Fandino, Assistant Treasurer of Hands on Manila, for sending me the information.  

It is amazing to read the experience of people who have volunteered to help different organizations and foundations.  How it has affected their life and how it can make a difference in many other people’s lives.  And can you believe that even a dog can volunteer and make a difference?  Doctor Una is a dog, a labrador, who volunteers to cheer up children in hospitals.  Amazing! And the writing of Butch Jimenez was so very true about being a great leader and he put it so well.  Sharing part of what he wrote…sc0010bbb6.jpg sc0010a23b.jpg 

Everyone else had many beautiful things to say and share.  Get a copy of this book, read it and share it to as many people as you can.  It costs P 250.00 but the effect will be priceless because it will make a difference!

Thanks to Hands on Manila Foundation for doing what you do and for giving everyone a chance to help and volunteer their time to help make this world a better place!

Tenement Feeding Program at Beacon

By | For kids, Giving Back | No Comments

This is one of the reasons I am happy my son is at Beacon.  Beacon has a way of bringing out the creativity in each one which is why there are always great ideas which are not the ordinary or the traditional way of doing things.

Not only are they doing the outreach but they work hard for it too.  They learn not only to share but to be able to share something that you worked hard for or something which you made with your own efforts.

The Rustan group has always been a staunch supporter of the philippine national red cross.  And tonight we at Stores Specialists, Incorporated are very pleased to be united with two of our most important partners, Salvatore Ferragamo and Citibank, in responding to PNRC’s plea for financial assistance.  Our three organizations have reached a unanimous decision to extend to them a donation of 2 million pesos.   The two million peso donation  will help fund the cost of a machine called “refrigerated centrifuge”.  This machine basically processes whole blood, separating it into different components, making it possible for PNRC to service a greater number of patients than ever before possible.  A single blood donation is maximized to its fullest benefit!  Our three organizations have found this to be a very worthy cause and one that is in keeping with our goals to actively help the communities we serve.
