bag-to-school...

20/10/2008 6:10:01 PM @WiN Stella actually if you are keen... i have a plan

well, a message from stella triggered a buried plan of mine... since the day i became a freelance artiste, i told myself that fame is fleeting and the only true investment that one can make is in lives and education...

anyway, years ago, i devised a project that never saw daylight because i never managed to get anyone to help me with it... hopefully this year, it will happen...

'bag' to school is a christmas project, aimed at sharing the christmas joy with children who have to get by with less... we all know that going back to school at the start of the new academic year is always a stressful process both in terms of academics and the finances... new books, new uniforms, new shoes, new bag, new almost-everything...

what the project aims to do is to provide each child with a brand-new school bag and in it, the essentials for a new school year... things in it could include a pair of new shoes, a water bottle, a full set of stationery, some vouchers from bookstores or even supermarkets (children do need to eat too!) but the main purpose is for the donor to buy the things they want to bless the child with...

well, stella is going to work out the fine print... but if it works out, it will be a damn cool project! the far and few readers of this blog... be ready to give and give generously!
