Reflection First of all I would like to thank all our team member to make this fund raising run successfully. Although the process, is difficult for us for example to get sponsors, communicate with the suppliers, preparing food and etc. but personally this doesn’t matter because we are doing good and give an impact for the children who are in need and give awareness for to the society. Through this activity I learn how to contribute and communicate well with the team member during the design and preparation stage. I was responsible to design the keychain which key chains were designed reflected an aspect of the children’s lives that needed to be filled including their Education, Love and Care, Food and Health and Skills. We manage to find supplier who can supply us the keychain materials. I had given another task to sell the tickets for the bazaar and also during both fund raising days I have the opportunity to promote and sell the merchandise. I found that it is not easy to ask people to buy the merchandise that was design by our team. I learn that I must know how to promote and also communicate with the customers. It been a long day full of fatigue yet full of love. We do enjoy the awareness spreading through fund raising. Through this fund raising activity I am able to give more love, care and help for those people who are in need. I hope that I can have the chance to volunteer and participate in this kind of charity drive. I like the quote by Mother Teresa: “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do with great love.” I am very happy that I got a chance to spread the love. Together, let us create a better world by giving and love each other!
