Re: Social Responsibility Project: “Fantasy Day @ Chili’s” and Mentorship for abused children
Dear Mr. Leal:
Every day the Family Department of Puerto Rico receives about 500 calls reporting child abuse. This is a very serious problem. A child that has been abused lives in constant fear and pain. While the physical wounds may heal, the emotional scars can last a lifetime.
It has been said that laughter is the best medicine. That is why I would like to propose to you a very special project that will make hundreds of abused children in Puerto Rico smile again, “Magical Day @ Chili’s”.
The month of April is dedicated to Childhood and Child Abuse Prevention. I propose choosing one day, every year, preferably during this month to concentrate our efforts just on the children. The idea is to invite kids that have been removed from their homes and offer them a Chili’s VIP lunch and provide them with an unforgettable experience. By partnering up with Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Puerto Rico we can also provide these children with a wonderful mentoring program. During the event the volunteers can meet and interact with the kids and start creating a bond.
Not only will this project bring joy and happiness to the children, it will also create awareness of the severity of Child Abuse in Puerto Rico. Social initiatives taken by organizations tend to promote goodwill, public favor, and corporate trust, and these may contribute to the profit and long-run success of your organization. With all this in mind,
