I’ve skipped shopping for the holidays, but this does not mean that I’ve also quit searching for items that I may need to buy in the coming days. Like this gorgeous ballet flats and loafers from pedroshoes.com. They may be ordinary shoes for you, but they are worthy of your money because part of the sales will go to the movement that supports PEDRO FIGHT AIDS campaign.

The beneficiaries of proceeds are children and youth who are either infected with HIV/AIDS, or who have one or both parents who are HIV-positive.

The Philippines is one of the participating countries along with Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. This fund-raising campaign will run from December 1, 2011 to February 29, 2012.

You can buy the following items at SM Mall of Asia, Trinoma, Bonifacio High Street, SM City North EDSA and SM Megamall.

1) men’s loafers shoes;

2) ballet flats with fighting AIDS logo; and

3) notebooks with Pedro logo and fighting AIDS logo.

25% of the regular retail price of each item will go to *YAFA as part of Pedro’s Corporate responsibility.

*YAFA or Youth AIDS Filipinas Alliance is a network of Filipino Youth working on HIV and AIDS and sexual & reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young Filipinos in the Philippines and worldwide. YAFA is funded by the HIV Young Leaders Fund (HYLF) and the MTV Staying Alive Foundation (MTV SAF).
