Black Pencil Project/Our Share January
18 January 2012
Our S H A R E is our way of giving back. This project was supposed to be launched this month but because of Sendong last month we decided to push it a month ahead and we raised Php 45,000.00 that we donated to Philippine Red Cross.

This month we will do our Share again with the objective of giving back.
Every month, we will feature a unique and beautiful item from K I S H and we will offer it at half the price. If you purchase the featured item, the money you pay will directly go to a foundation/organization who needs it most for their charity work. We wont earn a single centavo on this endeavor, but we will do our share to make a difference.
Here is a very simple way of how you can take part and give your S H A R E.
1. Every month we will feature an item from K I S H. We will blog about it to provide information.
2. The announcements would be simultaneously out in our Facebook and Twitter (@itokish) accounts. We suggest that you follow our Facebook and Twitter accounts so you can get the info right away.
3. If you want a chance to purchase the item, leave a comment on that blog entry saying that you want to buy the item. We will have a predetermined number that will choose the 9th commenter who would be selected as the lucky purchaser. To make it fair game for everyone, we would not approve to publish all the comments until the 9th commenter is determined.
4. The purchase will only be final once payment is made. We will publish the comment to purchase once the transaction is completed. The item will be packed and ready for pick up at K I S H anytime after the announcement. If the item will be shipped, cost to freight will be added to the cost of purchase. Cash payment only.
5. K I S H in turn will turn over the cash to the chosen organization/charity and a picture will be posted on the next Our S H A R E blog entry.
It will be our share and your share.
For the month of January we are featuring this wire chaise inspired by the Bertoia Asymmetric Chaise. Our selling price is Php 40,500.00 but you can get it only for Php 20,250.00 (50%). You get a beautiful chaise and you get to help.

My good friend Nina Santamaria told me about the Black Pencil Project and she told me how some school children in remote areas have to share a pencil just to be able to write or draw and with that scenario we decided to help and give kids hope and inspire them. Money that will be raised will afford us to buy basic school materials that will be given to public elementary schools in remote communities through the volunteers of the Black Pencil Project.
