Writing for kids in India

It seems like this week can’t get any better. After all the great happenings so far, we also received a huge donation from Brief op Bestelling, a company that supports people in writing letters. We asked Brief op Bestelling’s Janna all about what they did to fundraise and how they did it.

What a great job you guys did! Congratulations on this great result.

Yes, the fundraising campaign has been great so far. We didn’t expect to raise so much money, but it really turned out to be a success.

You chose the Centre of Knowledge project in India. Why?

This project immediately caught our sight the moment we browsed the Pifworld globe. We truly believe schooling is the best way to help a country grow out of poverty. And since writing and reading is our core business, fundraising for this project felt like an true match.

So what exactly did you do?

We decided to put our hands together for the Centre of Knowledge project. A project that enables children to go to school. 86 of our copy writers decided to donate the revenue of writing one letter to this great cause. Meaning that in total we raised more than 3,500 euros! We are happy to be able to bring this project one step closer to realisation.

A job well done, guys!

To bring the project two or three steps closer to realisation you only have to play it forward. That way you can help these kids in India to learn how to read and write.
