Did you know that five children die each day as a result of child abuse or neglect? Origami Owl® and Childhelp® have joined forces to save lives. We recently announced our amazing partnership with Childhelp, a national nonprofit that provides comprehensive treatment to abused and neglected children. We hope this partnership inspires you to join us in speaking up for those children that have no voice. If you’re not familiar with the Childhelp Speak Up Be Safe Program O2 is helping to expand, or the two special charms that will help raise funds, peek at the last page in your Spring/Summer 2014 Take Out Menu, or visit hstilwell.origamiowl/default.aspx April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. In 1999, Childhelp designated the first Wednesday in April as National Day of Hope. Alongside Childhelp, O2 will be honoring the children we’ve lost with a candle lighting ceremony and moment of silence. The burning candle represents the 5 children whose lives are taken each day, and the light we hope to bring into the lives of children who are still suffering. It’s also a meaningful opportunity to share our compassion and show our commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. So, on Wednesday, April 2, 2014, please join the Nest, and together let’s be a Force for Good. Honor the victims of child abuse by lighting a candle and observing a moment of silence with friends, family, or your O2 team members. Then inspire others to help us save lives by sharing a picture of your heartfelt moment on Facebook, Instagram or your favorite social network with the hashtag #O2GivesHope.
