The Jeepney magazine is looking for hosts

June 23, 2010

The Jeepney Magazine

The Jeepney magazine, the first street paper of its kind in developing Asia, is looking for kind corporate sponsors and establishments willing to host Jeepney’s vendors who earn primarily through the sale of the magazine and merchandize. 

For arrangements, you can contact Reah Medenilla at ramedenilla@yahoo.com and/or 3944029.

Please read more of Reah’s message via Facebook… and be a fan in the process.

We currently do not have mall placements for our vendor partners for reasons beyond our control. We want to continue providing opportunities for them to sell, as we all know it is illegal to sell on the streets. 

A great idea rose at one of my meetings with our vendor partners. 

Would you help us please by connecting us to your office / co-workers / office floor or building? You can set a day / time when one of our vendor partners could come to your office to sell the magazine. It might be during lunch break. Or as the Headstrong office in Makati did, they invited our vendor partners to sell in their office floor for three days. 

This can be done every time we publish a new issue, which for now is every two months. 

This can also be done in a school (we can sell in your class). Or a subdivision. 

We could give you some materials / proposal kit which you could give to your boss or the decision maker. 

Your help on this matter would mean a more regular job for our homeless vendor partners and a chance for them to connect with more people, both of which would mean empowerment for any homeless person. Please just email back at ramedenilla@yahoo.com or call us at 394 4029 so we could discuss this possibility. 

Thanks, 
Reah Medenilla on behalf of the Jeepney Team
