Dear DI Members,

Our Thursday Club, the charity organization open to all DI members and friends who want to support our projects, has selected Calindagan Elementary School in Dumaguete as our first charity project.

We value education for children and their principal has identified the following needs, with asterisks on the high priority items:
1. Pintle Pen; 4 per class
2. Pintle Pen Ink; 4 per class

We have some funds donated from members for this project but more funds are needed to extend our reach to other projects including handicapped children and other child needs.
