Reflection about Fundrasing @ RIST

On October 28, 2009 our class, Gr.12-2, did the fundraising for Philippine because they got typhoon and flood, so they need donation to make their country better. Also we did this because we wanted to make our grade up, so this was our catch up project. It held at RIST break, lunch and after school and we got a lot of food such as cookies, buns, snacks, and cakes. Those are donated by our school’s students and parents. We really appreciate it. From the beginning, many people came and tried to buy the stuff. Especially, Ms. Teresa, the science teacher, brought two things and donated us 1,000 Baht!! We really surprised about it and really wanted to thank her to donate for the Philippines. Most of teachers brought something with no change and also, some RIS and RIST students bought many things so we got about 5,000 bath donations in total. We gave it to school already and everyone was appreciating that.
I believed in that I should do something on the time, if we decided so, but this time, we had October break and our classmates couldn't make any time to buy the cookies and other stuffs. Therefore, we had hard time to prepare everything on the time. Actually, we supposed to put the cookies in different package, but we didn't have enough time, so we just sold the cookies without packing. Even though I challenged with my belief, it was still succeeded, so I think it was okay. From next time, I want to do everything if we have time.
From the ESLR's I learned how to be a team player because if we didn't corporate each other then we couldn't make this community service. This community service was created by us. We divided the teams in some of groups then resolved who do what. Finally, as we can see from the money that many people donated for us, we succeed this self-community service, so I learned about team player.
If we are going to do the same thing again, I want to mention more about this to all students and parents before we do community services and prepare more things, so that we can sell different kinds of thing. Moreover, even though we sold those stuffs we didn’t decide the cost exactly before we sell and I think deciding the cost is the most important thing. Next time, we should guess the price of the merchandises first and sell it. But everyone said that this community service was fun, so I think it is good to do something like this kind of thing more.
