THE SILC BAZAAR
The 25th annual SILC Bazaar is back at Bangkok Patana School on the 8th November!
This is the flagship fundraising event for SILC, raising much needed money that we then contribute to various community projects throughout Bangkok.
In 2018 over 400 people attended the Bazaar and helped raise almost 250,000 thb. These funds were distributed to local organisations to support projects aimed at empowering disadvantaged youth, women and families in the areas of health, community development and education.
How you can help….
Spread the word. Tell people in your building, your kid’s school, your gym and all your friends about it. Join us and bring them on the day.
Empty out your closets and bookcases. This is the perfect opportunity for you to have a really good clear out! Your pre-loved stuff will be snapped up quickly. You will be able to drop all your items off at the school the week leading up to the Bazaar.
Put your baking skills to good use. There really is nothing better than home baked goods, and our cake table is the only one at the Bazaar, so business will be brisk. Please consider baking for us. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just yummy!
Volunteer your time. As you are coming to the bazaar anyway, please volunteer for an hour or two (or more) to help on the SILC tables. Please contact silcbazaar@gmail.com if you would like to be involved.
Offer us your skills. Good at graphic design? Happy to talk to people on the phone? Clued up on social media? Then we need your help. No amount of time spent helping us organise the Bazaar is too small.
Pinterest your guilty secret? Every year we come up with ideas of crafts that we can sell. Come help us!
Ideas. Have you got an idea on how we can make the Bazaar even more of a success this year? If so, don’t keep it to yourself - tell us!
Just send us an email to silcbazaar@gmail.com
