Have a Cartwheel Christmas!

The holiday season is truly a time of wonders and blessings. This Christmas, let Cartwheel help you with your Christmas gift needs and share the wonder of being a blessing to others!

For the past eight years, we at Cartwheel Foundation have been working to bring education where it's needed most – to the communities of indigenous peoples living in remote and underserved areas of the Philippines. Cartwheel focuses on establishing education programs for indigenous children and adults who would otherwise have no access to this basic service.

This year, Cartwheel offers a line of Christmas Cards with artwork by indigenous children. We also have the Tugdaan All-Natural Products to give your Christmas gift baskets a fresh twist! By giving Cartwheel gift items this Christmas, you choose to share your blessings with the indigenous communities of the Philippines. Your gift helps support these communities as they work for a brighter future.

Give a gift that gives hope. You can work wonders this Christmas!

Powerbooks Trinoma and Cartwheel partner for Your 3 Pesos' Worth

How much is your 3 pesos worth?

This month, your three pesos can make a big difference in an indigenous child’s life. From July 7 to August 7, 2007, three pesos from every single receipt at Powerbooks Trinoma will go to Cartwheel Foundation’s pre-school programs for indigenous Filipino children!

Long distances, rivers and streams, narrow paths and makeshift bridges—indigenous children must face these challenges just to go to school. For very young children, going under these conditions is practically impossible.

Cartwheel Foundation works in remote areas of the Philippines to help make it possible for indigenous children to go to school. And YOU can lend a hand! Just make a purchase at Powerbooks Trinoma. Powerbooks Trinoma and Cartwheel Foundation are giving you a chance to see how far 3 pesos can go, and how much it is worth to an indigenous child.

As you enjoy your Powerbooks Trinoma purchases, we hope your enjoyment will be tripled—knowing that your 3-peso contribution will go a long way to helping an indigenous child go to school!
