WordWise Inc., a developer of educational publishing materials, has instituted a corporate giving program this year. For each project WordWise completes for one of its educational publishing clients during the year, WordWise will make a contribution to either Project HOTSHOTS or the 4K for Cancer. Each client decides to which of these charities the donation corresponding to their project will be made; or they can decide to split the donation between the two charities. WordWise will make these contributions twice yearly. As a result of this corporate giving program WordWise is donating $1,050 to project HOTSHOTS for the first half of 2010. |

From Jose & Susan Feliciano: |
|
 Since my husband, Jose, and I have become involved with Project HOTSHOTS, we have learned of some of the fine work that the organization has accomplished.
It seems like a rather simple concept and could very easily have been overlooked by less astute individuals who don't consider the basic fact that when a child goes to school, the self-esteem of feeling prepared can make all the difference in their otherwise dismal world.
Imagine! To have a new, clean, intact backpack on your shoulder, filled with sharpened pencils and new crayons all in their box and pens that work!
Now these children feel as though they are ready to learn; to meet the challenge of their day, prepared with the basic tools that so many of us take for granted. Don't you feel spiffy when you walk out the door in a new pair of shoes? Providing they don't kill your feet, you feel like you can take on the world! Or, better yet, when you first sit behind the wheel of your new car? You think, "Well, look at me!" It's the same thing for these children who live with so little material goods in their lives -- something like a new backpack for school is a tremendous gift and an asset to their future.
I personally want to thank the people at Project HOTSHOTS who not only saw the need but envisioned the opportunity and have made "life" a better place for so many young people in our world!
The Feliciano Family
