Title of Workshop: Unicef?
Time and Date: November 17th, 2009/ 1: 15 – I forgot
Category: Community and Global Awareness
Because I wasn’t able to make it to Light the Night, we were given another option for community service. A couple weeks before, a group of us met up with the other LC to discuss the mission and assign jobs. We decided to do a bake sale and use the money to help kids in Africa get clean drinking water. Diana and I teamed up to try and raise donations at the bake sale. When we got there, we got a coffee can and big cupcake sign. We tried going to the busier area and even going up and asking some people. We raised a couple dollars and ended up donating some ourselves.
Doing this workshop took me out of my comfort zone the most. It was really awkward holding a big cupcake sign while yelling “donations” and “bake sale”. I’m glad i got to work with Diana. We tried to make it fun. This was a really humbling experience and would recommend it. It’s important to see how hard it is to raise money. I think I’ll try and donate more.
