Friendship Bracelets for a Cause

Hands On Manila would like to thank Rhea Isobel S. Schmid and Bianca M. Romeo-Salas, Grade 11 students of International School Manila (ISM) for their fundraising initiative for the benefit of Hands On Schools- Galing Mo Kid! (HOS-GMK!).

Friendship bracelts for a cause-- this is Rhea and Bianca's fundraising project for the HOS-GMK! Their project is not only raising funds for the program, but is also helping a poor community by buying the friendship bracelets the community produce. A new packaging for the bracelets, and a small personal touch from the girls and the bracelets are ready to resell to benefit the students of the three schools under the program.
