Online hotel booking site launches Pencil Project Signature campaign
Facebook has become such a powerful tool for social interaction that it wasn’t long before social entrepreneurs tapped into its great potential to bring attention to their various causes.
One such organization is Hotelwithheart.com
Hotelwithheart.com (HWH) in partnership with Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) just launched its HWH Pencil Project Signature campaign.
The campaign aims to provide pencils for underprivileged children being taught by DTC, brainchild of 2009 CNN Hero of the Year, Efren Peñaflorida. By signing up on the HWH Facebook Page, the company will donate 1 pencil to DTC for every signature collected.
“We can measure statistics of children without the means of Basic Education, we can measure poverty, we can measure the rising crime rate, and we can even measure the cost of ignorance. But can we truly measure the potential of a child?” says Dr. Rudy Sabater, HWH Director. “By providing these children with the materials wherein they can continue to learn, we are offering them a brighter future”.
The Pencil Project will run for 1 month starting June 1 to June 30, 2011. HWH hopes to raise 10,000 pencils to be donated to DTC as materials they could use to help children further their education despite their poverty. To support this campaign, visit HWH Fanpage at Facebook.com/hotelwithheart.

The online venture offers over 100,000 cheap hotels, luxury resorts, beach resorts, budget accommodations, and 5 star hotels in more than 80 countries worldwide.
