12 Stunning Artworks By Local Artists Featured in CBTL's 2019 Giving Journal
Stamp-collecting has never been so rewarding.
(SPOT.ph) You know the ‘ber months are upon us when you start OD’ing on cup after cup of coffee or tea to collect stamps so you can claim your free planner for the coming year. It’s become somewhat of a tradition, and one that stays true to the Christmas spirit, especially if you’re collecting stamps for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Giving Journal, which benefits the Real LIFE Foundation, an organization that aims to help the underprivileged youth through educational assistance, character building, and values formation.
For the 2019 Giving Journal, CBTL tapped local artists who also happen to be their own customers. In their works, the artists each gave a unique spin on the central theme: generosity.
Here’s a glimpse into the artwork you’ll find within the pages of the Giving Journal:

June Digan drew a colorful heart-shaped island peppered with acts of generosity.
