HiltonVillage.co.za launched Hilton Cares in September 2011 in a campaign aimed at encouraging Hilton residents to support local projects by putting our community first. We have a bold Logo, designed by Doreen Philip of DP Design as well as an exciting new project in the pipeline geared to helping one of the projects in our Hilton Cares category in the Directory at HiltonVillage.co.za.There are many reasons to focus your charitable efforts locally; it is greener and leaves a smaller carbon footprint than traipsing across the world, it is moneywise, you stand to feel the benefit every day, your goodwill brings smiles to the faces you pass driving or walking and if you give aid in the form of time, money or old clothing to one of these projects you may just reduce the burden on one poor soul enough to bring them back from the edge of desperation, rescuing them from stealing to feed their children tonight.
Take a look at the projects featured in Hilton Cares and see if you can arrange to participate, contribute or plan ahead to be part of an inspiring effort on Mandela Day, the 18th July 2012 is around the corner. Make your 67 minutes productive where it counts the most and tell us about your plans to inspire other Hilton people.
Also if you are part of an effort working to uplift the Hilton community, including Sweetwaters, please contact us to be added to Hilton Cares.
