Doodle for Mandela, contribute towards internet school
Having launched "Doodle for Nelson Mandela Day," in association with the Nelson Mandela Foundation last year, Samsung is encouraging South Africans to get involved if they haven't already. It's easy, it's free, it's fun and it contributes towards a worthy cause.
Through this campaign Samsung is encouraging consumers to 'Like' the Samsung Mobile South Africa Facebook page, then go on to the "Doodle and Win" link to create your own unique piece of art on the Galaxy Note tool.
The Facebook page will allow users to create their own doodle for Mandela with their own photos with every image uploaded matched by a R5 investment from Samsung. The total money raised over this period will be divided between the development of another solar powered Internet school by Samsung and various charities for the development of libraries with the aim of driving access to information and the ability for underprivileged children to gain the required reading skills.
Education the key element for future sustainability
"Samsung is committed to investing in viable, tangible and measurable corporate social investment projects and this campaign is no different. It will not only align to our existing outreach and focus on education and skills development, but also encourage the larger South African community to become custodians of positive change. Samsung's relationship with The Nelson Mandela Foundation creates a perfect platform from which to ensure we reach our communities in need with a key element required for future sustainability - education," says Deon Liebenberg, MD of Samsung South Africa.
The Doodle for Nelson Mandela campaign is live on the Samsung website (www.samsung.com) and still open to consumers to upload their images and create masterpieces with the Galaxy Note doodle function.
