We Donated a Word

Donate A Word

The Word Jockey will celebrate Children’s Day in a special way. Our Donate-a-Word Campaign  which happened in September 2010 on the occasion of International Literacy Day saw quite some decent response. So we shall set out to make some children happy by gifting them a nice goody bag with a pen, pencil, notebooks and a box of crayons or poster colours and a brush.

The Donate-A-Word Campaign was the  brainchild of the Word Jockey, in association with The NGO Adarshmay. We launched this campaign World Literacy Day which falls on 8 September. The drive will now finally see colour on 17th November to celebrate Children’s Day. Though Children’s Day is celebrated on 14th November here in India, it being a Sunday we had to push the donation to a later date. But the enthusiasm hasnt yet died down. Can’t wait to see the excited chatteing and smiles on their faces when they receive the goody bag from us.

The entire idea for doing Donate a Word and not donate-a-something else, was from the point that education is the root solution to all problems marring India today. And as The Word Jockey we want to spread the word of education for children through our little efforts.

Donate -a-Word Donation Day: Wednesday, 17 November 2010 at a Slum School in Chembur, Mumbai India.

What are we donating: Books, Pens, Pencils, Crayons, Poster Colours

So donate-a-word and help a child’s education. For more details you could write to us at thewordjockey@gmail.com or like us on Facebook – http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Word-Jockey-Writing-Communication/105546575744
