Acknowledgement to some companies

I’ll start this post commenting that, although I’d like this part to be much larger due to the number of companies that may be supporting the campaign, I am very thankful with the ones that have already committed their support.

One of the first ones in contacting us and that is very supportive to the campaign is Puma. The sports brand, which has a complete running line, has jumped in with an important economic donation so if you want to give something back to them, you think about this the next time you have to decide on a sports brand. Thanks Franco!

I’d like to thank also Kimberly-Clark that didn’t wasted any time to donate some of their products to help these children in need. Yumax, a local hydration drink, has also helped out with an economic donation plus some products for the children. Thanks Bertha and Marco!

The University of Lima (UL) is supporting us a lot. Besides communicating the campaign to their employees and making it easy for them to donate by centralizing the donations (they discount this donation from their monthly payroll so the employee does not have to make any money transferring by themselves), they have also created some posters and counters for the whole alumni to find out more about this project and also contribute to it. Thanks Dr. Ilse Wisotzki and her team of professionals!

Through my brother’s impulse, Gildemeister, a local car dealer where he works at, is communicating their employees about the campaign so they can make their donation and even offers to duplicate any donation raised by them! Thank you LuisFer!

There are also some companies that have helped out with the communication among their employees motivating them to support the campaign such as Lan, Derco or Antamina. Thanks Vero, Xime, Chalo & Carmela!

Even outside Peru, but thanks to a Peruvian, the Wharton Latin American Student Association, WHALASA, supported the campaign by hosting two events for this purpose. Thanks Pao!

And speaking about events, some editorials and book distributors have committed their support donating some coffee table books for a future bid and they could also donate some others for the children’s library. Thanks to Zeta, Planeta, La Familia and Norma! I’m sure very soon some others will also join us. I’ll keep you updated on the event’s day so you can all come along. Thank you Titi!

There are others that have been interested in the campaign but haven’t yet materialized it as well as some others that have anonymously supported us. To all of them here is our acknowledgement for their support and interest.

I’d like to finish recognizing a company that after just hearing through the telephone for a few minutes about our campaign, and knowing we needed some empty tin vases for collection purposes, they didn’t hesitate and donated all the required cans. Thanks Ricardo!

These companies are an example of interest in the societies where they operate, far beyond their commercial interests. They, as well as the people that have been supporting, do understand they have a very important role in the development of this country and they also understand these children and all the others are the foundation were our future society is going to develop.

Like them, some of you reading these lines work at companies that may be supporting the campaign too. It can be with a donation as Puma or Yumax, or with products as Kimberly-Clark. If none of the above is suitable for your company then you can help making possible the communication among the employees, proposing to raise funds internally or proposing the payroll discount option as Gildemeister does.

It’s amazing what you can obtain from other people when you reach to them with an open heart and the illusion that anything is possible. Unfortunately, I can not reach to all the persons or all the companies, even though I may try, so this is were your support becomes fundamental. As you may have seen in all these examples, there are several options for supporting, the question is whether you’re interested in doing it or not, and I certainly hope you are!

As some people say, the worst thing that can happen is to get a no for an answer. Help us communicating the project. Join in. Believe and I assure you, you’ll be surprised of the good intentions of people and companies.

Our goal: their future
