Children’s toy and furniture e-commerce company Coco Village is working with three foundations across North America this month to offer backpacks to children in need for the back-to-school season.


For every backpack Coco Village sells in August, it’s offering one to a foundation that specializes in helping kids in need. The Montreal-based company will work with Regroupement Partage in Quebec, Stephen’s Backpacks Society in the rest of Canada and the Kids in Need Foundation in the United States.

“The back-to-school season can be a very exciting, yet very stressful time for young children,” said Coco Village co-owner Yoann Desrosiers in a media release. “Many children are showing up to their first day of class with brand-new clothes, notebooks, lunch boxes, confidence beaming.

“Unfortunately, on the other side of the spectrum, there are as many who do not have that opportunity. We wanted to do our part, and level the playing field for any kid that is in need.”

Coco Village promotes a variety of educational children’s toys and has a belief that learning through confidence is the key to a successful education. – Continue reading Steve McLean’s Samaritanmag feature online.

Charlie Puth Announces Whatever’s Clever! World Tour With Help from ‘Overcompensating’ Star Benito Skinner: See the Dates

The pop star is hitting the road just a few months after his Super Bowl performance, including one show in Vancouver. Get all the details.

Charlie Puth is headed to a city near you. On Monday (Jan. 12), the Grammy-nominated pop singer-songwriter revealed the full list of dates for his upcoming Whatever’s Clever World Tour, which will span nearly 50 dates across two continents. The trek will commence on April 22 at Viejas Arena in San Diego, Calif., visiting major cities like Nashville, Austin and New York, before concluding on July 30 at Progresja Summer Stage in Warsaw, Poland. His lone Canadian date is May 5 at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on May 5.

The “Light Switch” singer tapped Overcompensating stars Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone to share the news, building off the Amazon Prime original’s running gag that confuses Puth with fellow pop star (and show guest star) Charli xcx. “B—h, guess the f—k what, I’m working the Charlie concert,” Barone begins the mock FaceTime call, with Skinner replying, “Oh, xcx?… So you mean to tell me that Ms. Puth is going on tour and he asked you to work it, b—h?”
