Service: Habitat for Humanity - Fundraising

            Recently, my friend Jennifer proposed getting together a group of friends and fundraising for Habitat for Humanity, for one of our CAS service activities. As we are planning to fundraise largely at school over a relatively long period of time, ranging a few months, we will need to present a proposal the school in order to gain permission to sell products at school for the fundraising program.

            Today, Jennifer, Chika (another friend who working on this project), and myself worked on creating the proposal. This includes writing our introduction, and very importantly, creating a schedule concerning what products we are selling, when we are selling it, as well as a budget. If we want to raise enough money for the building of one house through Habitat for Humanity, we need to raise 30 million rupiah. It is quite a high target, as we need to find time to prepare the products that we are selling, sell the products, and do this in the midst of our busy school schedule. Regardless of how much money we manage to fundraise, we will donate this money to Habitat for Humanity and so help to provide housing for the less fortunate in this country.
