"Excuse me, would you like to donate? PLEASSE!"
so. yesterday's flag day for jamiyah (jer-my-ear/ja-mee-ear) children's home was fulfilling!there were foreigners (aka ang mos), who were the most receptive to our pleadings (?) for donations. just that we would have to explain more about the VWO we were raising funds for! :D
there were the typical working population, who filled our tins with their spare changes.
there were families! whom we like "targeting"... (no i am not envious or anything). the thing is, with the parents, are their children, who seem to be attracted to the "please come and take me" stickers on the tin! and parents, being parents, have to set good role models to their kids. don't they? XD
there were the "aunties" (as many people would call it) whose kind heart would melt just knowing that we are collecting funds for those in need. but it was a great help!
there were teenagers, whose response was relatively varied. :O
i learnt that the most effective way for flag days is to ask everyone. EVERY SINGLE ONE. and not choose who to ask. basic math probability eh? the more you ask, the faster to fill to the tin?
but. but. to think there was actually someone who approach us not to donate, but rather complain about us trying to scam people of their money?!?! sigh...
AND! kudoes to yuet cheong for filling up his entire tin!
