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!
