HOUSE OF
PADDLES ENTERPRISE
HOPE is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project of Island Buzz Philippines, in partnership with Philippine Accessible Disability Services (PADS), a non-profit organization based in Cebu, working to enable the PWD community to develop as empowered citizens in society. It is part of their advocacy program entitled One Cebu, One Canoe, with the mission to make Cebu as the “Paddling Capital of the Philippines”.
HOPE aims to place 1,500 paddles in the houses of those who will make a #paddlepledge. Through the sales of the paddles, part of the proceeds will be used in building a 6-man Outrigger Canoe or OC6 which will be used by PWDs under PADS for paddle training so they can compete in international races. Unlike other fund-raising activities, HOPE is designed as a social entrepreneurship program, providing additional source of income for our PWDs while portion of the proceeds go to the fund.
The HOPE paddles are uniquely designed, hand crafted and hand painted,
and named after the one who have made the pledge.
Individuals, groups and organizations can support HOPE through the following options:
1) make a #paddlepledge as an individual and send us the requested design,
2) allow us to surprise you with our own designs, which we will showcase from time to time in our social media pages where you can also avail the paddles,
3) Sign up in our occasional paddle paint activity or better yet, have an exclusive session for your team wherein we will bring all the materials to you and so you can paint the paddles to your own liking, with the help of one of our artists.
May the paddles bond us together, as we paddle forward as One Canoe!
