The organization was started by a young girl in Taiwan and from there it spread through her school, to other schools in her country and then to schools across the world. It is called Schools United for Elephants. The website is provided below, so please take a look if you would like:

The campaign does not ask for any money, but instead for students around the world to simply pledge their support for elephants and against ivory products.
We created a poster in our class to vow not to buy ivory and to spread the word to help save elephants. A picture of that poster was sent to the Schools United for Elephants campaign and has been posted on their Facebook page and will soon appear on their webpage as well.

You should all be very proud of your little ones! They are growing up to be very caring and giving world citizens!
*Update* - April 25th, 2013 - We got an email response from the Schools United for Elephants campaign that said, "On Tuesday, we shared your work with the Consul of Canada here in Hong Kong. He was very pleased to see a school from his country taking part in this campaign."
