For our Service Learning, we sold packets of snacks and candies to our fellow Victorians for $2.50. It has been an amazing experience selling those gift packs as the money would go to the needy. Initially, i expected very little people to buy the gift packs at a relatively high price. In the end, I was surprised to see that we made more than $400! This goes to show that there are some people who care about the needy.
As this was a charity event, it is difficult for me to catorgerize these events into the best or the worst. However, there were tough times when people simply refused to buy the gift packs even when they know that the money goes to charity. But it does not really matter. Only the people who did buy the gift packs matter. Those are the people I respect and wish to thank. Even if they bought the gift packs simply to eat an Oreo, at least they helped feed several hungry mouths.
All in all, this was an enriching experience as I have learnt the true nature of many of our Victorians, myself included.
