What is 1kg More?
1kg More (short for “1 kilogram more in your travel pack”) is a non-official cause of charity crossing over travel.
It runs behind the idea of travelers bringing 1kg of inexpensive educational materials in addition to their package to give away to some one that needs it along their journey, e.g. kids that cannot even afford a pencil rubber.
The simple process of passing-communicating-sharing will no doubt enrich travelers’ travel experience and realize the positive cycle of charity work.
How to participate in 1kg More?
3 steps recommended by us:
1. Passing – Prepare 1kg of books or stationeries for underprivileged kids you may meet in your journey;
2. Communicating – Talk to and play with kids and get to know them;
3. Sharing – Share your travelogues with people via 1kg forum and spread the words among friends and around.
How you want to do it is up to you, but here are our suggestions:
Preparation before the trip
Activities en route
Sharing stories after the trip
