MomShare report: Giving Back-to-school smiles

Posted on August 19, 2011

Mommies! We’re happy to report that with YOUR help and support, we were able to help more than 400 kids from the Betty Go Belmonte Elementary School in Quezon City go back to school with smiles on their faces!

100% of the funds collected from Expo Kid entrance fees last February, plus donations and some funds from our other Mommy Mundo events went to our MomShare fund and this was used to purchase 400 colorful backpacks filled with school supplies for the children in the grade 2 level.

Love the colorful backpacks! We had these custom-made by another mompreneur, Emilene, my fave bag maker. Emilene also makes our Mommy Mundo totebags:)

The Betty Go Belmonte school principal, Ms. Thelma Villamor, organized the kids to come on a Saturday for the distribution and we were assisted by the Catholic Womens League (CWL) ladies spearheaded by Dr. Cris Villanueva (my mom in law).

I’m also so proud of my kids who also spent time helping us give out the backpacks. They had fun giving out the blue and green backpacks to the boys while the red and yellow ones went to the girls. (Orange is a bit neutral so it went to both girls and boys:P )

Special mention goes out to our mompreneur friend, Grace de Guia-Profeta, who generously pledged a portion of her Little Red Shoe sales from Expo Kid to this project. Thank you so much, Grace! (Grace is the 4th from left on the top row in the photo below. We are with the wonderful ladies of CWL who helped us with this project)

THANK YOU again, mommies for your support for our MomShare projects. Please remember, we regularly post announcements on our Mommy Mundo Facebook wall to invite volunteers to come with us. We would be so happy to have you and your kids join us as volunteers at the next event! MomShare is a concrete way by which we can teach our kids to share their blessings with the less fortunate:) Do join us next time!:)
