Trick-orTreat for Unicef boxes available now

Advertiser Staff

Honolulu Waldorf High School senior Christopher Matar, UNICEF Student Ambassador, is asking that the children and youth of Hawai'i show the world that Hawai'i can "make a difference" by participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. Students can celebrate Halloween while becoming a "Real World Hero" for UNICEF.

Participants can learn the importance of helping others in need, make a real difference, because it only takes pennies to save a life.

Adults are welcome to participate too, in their workplace and at their Halloween parties.

All donations help UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, established in 1946, give children access to basic things like medicine, clean water, food, and an education. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF collection boxes can be delivered to your school or company by emailing christophermatar@gmail.com with the amount of boxes you need. For information regarding various locations to pick up free boxes or to get supplies such as community flyers, posters, UNICEF fact sheets, stickers, and a list of fundraising ideas please contact Christopher at christophermatar@gmail.com or call  728-6003.

To donate coins & dollar bills, stop by Marsha Nadalin Salon & Spa at Kahala Mall, Honolulu Waldorf High School in Kahala, or the Hawaii chapter of the United Nations Association in Honolulu Hale by Nov. 15.
