A fundraising activity is always a great idea to help your school raise the money that it needs with the help & participation of the whole community for the happening of a good purpose.
It is also an excellent way for students to understand the value of money and to learn that hard work pays off. Hence, every movement needs money to support whatever the campaign is going to need.
I believe that by now, we should all be aware of the fund raising activity that has been started by LUISC in order to help raise money for the Study Group Charity, Building Futures. In specific, the money will be used to help build a school in the Southwest of China, particularly in the area affected by the earthquake in May last year. Almost a year has passed from this incidence; that’s true.
Yet, within this time interval, don’t you think that those children still carry the scars it bought? Don’t you think that the feeling of desperation has escalated?? Clearly, things have been very tough for them for quite a while now. You know how sometimes you think it can’t get worse but it does? Oh yes does it ever!! Everyday seems to be either an up-hill struggle or has a “hanging on by your eyelashes” kind of a feel to it.
Thus, as you will understand, this is a tremendous task. I take on that we all have to support them in the favor of the work they are doing for those who are in need – as support is our social responsibility.
The amount of charity does not really matter. What matters is our taking part in such a crucial event and planting a smile on the faces of some kids. We can make a vital difference in someone’s life merely by doing the simplest things.
Centre Head... with beard... for now!
And speaking of planting a smile, I believe that if we prosper in collecting 1000 pounds, apart from living the elation of lending a hand to others, seeing Martin shave off his beard especially for the first time in 40 grand years is, worth it. Don’t you think?? =)
For this to become a reality, I anticipate that we all do whatever we can to make this project happen. After all, education is the best tool to unlock the vicious & self-perpetuating cycle of hunger and poverty.
So guys, let’s roll up our sleeves and climb the support mountain together!!
You have a very positive attitude, Betul! Whatever we manage to raise should be good, even if we do not reach our goal of £1,000. It would of course be great fun to see Martin shave off his beard!
