Havaianas is partnering with Rock Ed Philippines, a volunteer group working to provide venues and events for alternative education, for Rock Ed's THE ORIGINAL GRANT. This summer, you are encouraged to come up with your own original idea for promoting awareness, helping out, honesty, intelligent voting, alternative classes, micro-financing small businesses, pushing for participation - whatever it is, it just needs to be original to be funded. Nine (9) original ideas will be financed by Rock Ed through a grant given to them by Havaianas.

The Original Grant Project was launched at the North Court, Rockwell last March 4, 2009. We were urged by the organizers to have our photo taken at the Original Grant project wall. In the middle of the event, hosts Mo Twister and Iya Villania announced that Havaianas is giving the Rock Ed grant 470 PHP for each photo posted on the wall with a reason why you are original.

Fritz jokingly wrote that he's the only person who owns the domain name http://fritzified.com. What a plug junkie. LOL. I actually wrote something with a half-truth: "I'm the only special education teacher who can down a bottle of beer in less than 15 seconds." Well, I don't teach anymore.



Anyway, if you have an original idea, read on.
