Since 2002, many would have seen advertisement similar to the one below asking people to cut the paper and fold a heart following the instructions. After folding the origami heart, you drop it into any post boxes in Singapore. SingTel donates $1 for every origami heart collected.
This year the advertisements are placed in the Today newspaper.
We know Today Newspaper is a free sheet that also has online access. I was wondering if I print that page out and fold it, would SingTel also donate $1 to the fund. The screen shot above is from the online newspaper.
Then I found out, I don't need to!
Those of you sitting in front of your PC / Mac, iPads, various tablets, various smart phones with a browser, go to: http://FoldAHeart.com
You can actually fold an online piece of origami heart!
For every fold submitted online, SingTel also donates $1 to the SingTel Touching Lives Fund.
