A Shout Out to Some Cebu Bloggers
They are two creative and artistic individuals.
They are bloggers, too.
They live in the south.
I haven’t even met them yet.
But two big-hearted artists, Dan Guillano and Nonon Yee, are selling their artworks for PhP75 so they can buy pencils for Pens of Hope.

Thank you so very much to both of you for selflessly sharing your talents.
Here are some pics they took during the selling of their artworks. Looks like it was fun
By the way, Dan is the person responsible in creating the Pens of Hope Badges. He offered to make the badges some time ago after reading about the project.
I’m taking this opportunity to also thank some other Cebu bloggers who are helping spread the word about Dan’s and Nonon’s exhibit for charitable cause. In my limited Cebuano, allow me to say “Daghang salamat, Cebu!“






its the miracle of connectedness….and of course of blogging…

No probs Miss N…^_^…this is all because of you and your selfless cause…you’re our inspiration…^_^
By the way, there are also other artists (Henschel, Peter B, Palot, Mikiboy, Edmund to name a few) that donated their drawings to be sold…this is not only a project of just two people here but of many artists…^_^
We will send you the pencils and pens on July Miss N…maybe in the future we could go there to bring you the pens and pencils ourselves…we’re looking forward to meeting you…^_^
Thank you for this campaign…^_^
