Peter Loftin is a notable entrepreneur and founder of BTI (Business Telecom Inc.). But more than that, he is an amazing human being who encompasses compassion for the needy section of the society. Interested in charity work and contribution in arts, he has taken several measures on his own to help the society in some or the other way. Basically, he is among those business owners who are known more for philanthropy than their business notions and works.
Coat for Kids was an Initiative that Came Out of Peter’s Concern for Poor Children
The very first notable initiative for society taken by him was distribution of winter coats to the poor children. Many children lacked protective clothing in harsh winters and faced severe problems due to the same. By distributing coats, Peter Loftin ensured that needy children do not become sick or shiver in the chilling cold season. This programme was known as Coat for Kids and it became famous all around the country due to its success.
Under this, the citizens were asked to donate winter coats that were to be distributed to the needy children. This notion also generated an idea of helping others among citizens of the country. When this plan was being executed, then Peter was in his early twenties, busy laying the foundation of BTI.
Helping Children to Learn Together and Grow was the Aim of Camp BTI
Camp BTI was another well-received charitable initiative taken by Loftin. This camp included a group called Boys and Girls Club of America and many children were its members. It was a learning centre for children where they could communicate with each other, learn new things, do collective tasks and learn the value of productivity.
