Beds project

Status: Finished
Time needed: 
Two weeks or more
Step: 
1

Wanted: neighbours that want to help save money for the children in Kisozi. The idea is to save the deposits on returnable bottles (the money that you pay extra when buying e.g. coca cola, sprite etc. bottles and that you get back when returning the bottles). The idea is to do this for a longer period of time and then donate it to the children of Kisozi. Are there any neighbours who would like to participate in that? Also, one could try and get more people involved (friends, relatives...) and ask supermarkets if they can leave a collection box where people can donate the deposits.

Have started today by returning some bottles to the grocery store. Had also been saving for extra discount at this store (with each purchase you get stamps and x amount of stamps can be traded for cash money) and decided to return all the stamps and donate the discount to Kisozi as well. Bottles was 2 euros and discount was 8 euros. So I'm at 10 euros to start with. I will keep saving the deposits on returnable bottles for the next few months. As I am single it won't add up very fast but will try to get some family members to join me. I will make it my goal to raise at least 50 euros like this (which at today's exchange rate is around 70 US dollars).

Re: Save money for Kisozi throught the deposits on returnable bottles
Tue, 2009/06/02 - 18:16

Hi there,

I am also happy to save some money for Kisozi this way.
Have started today by returning some bottles to the grocery store. Had also been saving for extra discount at this store (with each purchase you get stamps and x amount of stamps can be traded for cash money) and decided to return all the stamps and donate the discount to Kisozi as well.

Bottles was 2 euros and discount was 8 euros. So I'm at 10 euros to start with.

I will keep saving the deposits on returnable bottles for the next few months. As I am single it won't add up very fast but will try to get some family members to join me. I will make it my goal to raise at least 50 euros like this (which at today's exchange rate is around 70 US dollars).

Will keep you updated on my progress, and hope others will join Esther and myself and raise more money this way!

Take care,
Jim Boere
