The spate of devastating typhoons that hit our country has left thousands of families homeless, struggling to survive. And while there has been an unprecedented outpouring of support from both individuals and aid organizations, the long road to recovery has only just begun.
If you’re hungry to help, join Operation Smilewich, a project that aims to provide them with not just food but hope. For a very minimal fee, participants can donate Smilewiches, mini-sandwiches with personalized notes that let the typhoon victims know that someone is looking out for them.
You’ll get to create, write and design these personalized notes yourself on the spot at the Smilewich Factory. One of my favorite features is the virtual “Design An Avatar” meme on the Facebook page. You could turn something like this…
…into this…
Come to Bonifacio High Street, Taguig on November 14 from 9am to 5pm and stop by the Smilewich Factory. For those who can’t come, you can also send a pledge to smilewich@gmail.com, and the Smilewich crew will pack the sandwiches in your name.
For those on Facebook, join the Smilewich group right now and get a head start on the fun.
It’s a simple gesture, but one that will hopefully go a long way in feeding their spirits.
This event was made possible by the collaborative efforts of Kraft Eden Cheese, Bonifacio High Street and The Philippine Red Cross. All proceeds will go to the Philippine National Red Cross.
