 Temwa has recently released a range of ethical Christmas presents for the forthcoming festive season. Designed to add a new dimension to the act of giving, the range of presents are being sold to raise money for Temwa's ongoing sustainable community development projects in Malawi, Africa. So, in giving a present to a loved one you are also giving valuable funds to a very worthwhile cause.
There are three presents that we are proud to be offering this year:
• A brand new range of specially designed Temwa Gift Cards
• Our very own ‘winter warming' CD compilation of Bristol's hottest music
• Graffiti Christmas Cards designed by Bristol's most prolific street artists
Temwa Gift Cards
 We have just produced a unique selection of Temwa gift cards featuring images from our ongoing sustainable community development projects in Malawi. There are four different designs featuring images from our schools, library, HIV/AIDS and Agricultural Training Centre projects - each of which could be helped through purchasing one of these cards. Within each card is a donation voucher - to the value of either £5, £10, £20 or £50 - and on each voucher are examples of what that donation could achieve for each of the project areas. For example:
A donation of £10 could:
• Provide 30 books for our new community library
• Help 50 people to attend an HIV/AIDS video session
• Place 130 bricks in the wall of a new primary school
• Cover the cost of running our Agricultural Training Centre for a week
When purchasing a gift card for a present you not only get the extreme satisfaction that you are helping some of the poorest people on the planet strive for a better life, your recipient gets to share in the goodness of this gesture as well. Better still, you can do all this at no cost to the planet as all the cards are printed on 100% recycled card!
It's amazing what such small sums of money can achieve when put to good use. Show a little Christmas spirit and spread some gift cards amongst your loved ones this year.
COST : £5, £10, £20 or £50
