TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2016 /CNW/ - As the holiday season approaches, Canadians are in search of meaningful gifts that make an impact around the world. Plan International Canada's Gifts of Hope puts an end to shopping indecision by turning holiday gift-giving into life-changing support for children and families in developing countries like El Salvador, Bangladesh, and Kenya. With 40 gifts like Buzzing Bees, Newborn Checkup and Girl Power, Canadians have the chance to give real gifts that change real lives.
To celebrate Giving Tuesday, Plan International Canada has teamed up with its newest Celebrated Ambassador, lifestyle and décor expert Janette Ewen, to bring the impact of ethical giving to life. The Gifts of Hope pop-up shop runs from Friday, November 25 to Tuesday, November 29 in Toronto's Distillery District while the annual Christmas Market is in full festive swing. Media and the public are invited to visit the shop for hands-on vignettes, a virtual reality experience, and activities for kids that bring ethical giving to life.
