Donate to charity by folding hearts - FREE!
-
check out Today newspaper everyday (on today's Today, it is on page 2
. There is an advertising page by Singtel Touching Lives Fund on folding a heart and dropping it into a post box to donate $1 to charities. This $1 is purely out of Singtel money. You need not pay a single cent except your time. Now this is a charity I will do.
I have folded 3 hearts so far. How many have you fold?
Kudos to Singtel! -
that's cool.. but not the first time they've done it
actually, when i was working at my head office, i got the clerical officers to go through their clerical officers' network to gather all the Today Papers in the whole building and dumped a whole lot of hearts into the postboxes...
i bet the SingPost people were v busy

Later they take the red color heart and bring it back to singtel. Singtel take them outside and put it into the bin.

I kinda agree with you, I believe ST will have a cut off limit, after all, who sees the counting ?? internal auditors or temp personnel...so well...Originally posted by meltz: recycle and reuse...

then again, will the money go to the people who really need it... touchy issue :p -
Singtel donate to charity equals to us people's money.
All the bills we pay to them is our money.
What they donated is our money as well..
Its not Singtel's $$ -
I saw it too. There's an easier way to make a heart >_<'

what rubbish...
you paid for a service they provided.. it's SINGTEL's money!!
they are NOT a charity and we did not donate the money to them!Originally posted by Takeshi18:Singtel donate to charity equals to us people's money.

An outsider cannot confirm if the money will really go to the charities. But I believe as long as you did your part and if Singtel wants to play punk and not fulfill their end of the agreement, their concious will hunt them.Originally posted by Execboy:I kinda agree with you, I believe ST will have a cut off limit, after all, who sees the counting ?? internal auditors or temp personnel...so well...

I hope you will fold at least 1 heart. At worst, it is just 2 mins of your time. -
If you want to think of it that way, I think its fine and all the more you should fold the hearts!Originally posted by Takeshi18:Singtel donate to charity equals to us people's money.

my relatives got fold paper hearts in bottles, shall go and ask from her...Originally posted by Cindyfeh:I have folded 3 hearts so far. How many have you fold?
Hmmm... abt 9000+++ -
Did they say who singtel is donating to ?
IS the money really going to the needy?
Anyone ever check where the money really goes to?
They will still take most of money as admin fee.
So singtel is the goody one trying to make it look good by saying they are donating to charity by making us work.
If they really want to donate just donate lar why stilll need us to fold hearts?
In the end, the hearts will still be thrown away.
Are they giving to another durain in the name of the charity?
Or buying another Rolex to be given to someone else ?
If singtel really have the heart just donate lar why still need us for what?
They got lots of peanuts and can donate easily why still to us to do all the shit work? -
hmm... sounds better than nkf and stuff.. but i still dont really like charity organisations.. not because u cant give.. but if charity organisations are not profitable.. would people wanna work there?
-
But every year they got cacluate the number of hearts and disclose the amount of money they donating. So i think it really not bad.

agree that they disclosed the money, but where did the money go?
Not to you or me.
Do you really think the money goes to some needy?
If its true then why are there people who cannot pay their monthly bills ?
People so poor and that they had to eat a meal a day.
Singtel should show us that these people are helped first before saying that they did a good deed. -

tat's technically incorrect. U pay to use their services, according to the rates that they charge. It is ST's decision to part with their earnings, although derived from you.Originally posted by Takeshi18:Singtel donate to charity equals to us people's money.

u mean cut out from newspaper and then fold?
then post it where? into the post box? without any stamps?
