In light of the upcoming week without walls trip, we were all assigned jobs to do during the last few weeks and this week as the trip is only a few days away. In my group there were 4 people in total (considerably small), so we had a lot of weight on shoulders. We were responsible for the fund raising and the gifts which would be bought with the money we raised. Since these children are under privileged, it will be greatly appreciated by them if we can provide them with some of the basic needs.
This relates to service because we were spreading a worthy cause and letting people know and by making them aware, we were giving them an incentive to donate some money. This was by no means an easy task and it required constant reminding and persistence in order to convince people to donate money.
Eventually we were able to obtain Rs. 38,000 after much persuasion. We went to a store next to our school on Thursday 19th January and we were able to order the required goods for Week Without Walls.
The next day we went back to the store after school to collect the goods and we carried them back to school.
