The week are becoming more hectic than before with the event just around the corner. We were all tired and excited at the same time as the event is next week but a hurdle was placed in front of us. There was not enough money to cover the budget. Even though we did the donation drive and cake selling but it was not enough and all the committee members are in a trance thinking of a way to solve this problem. We were disappointed with every call we made to each company that we requested for sponsors. Rejection after rejection we decided to do the donation drive again that friday to collect money. This time we are divided into 4 group and manage to get the participation of the team to join in.
We did our first training of facilitator this week and although it was fun but yet due time constraint we couldn't have so much time. I wanna say sorry to my teammates for being stricter than usual as I have to be wary of the clock ticking for the others. But i promise we will have the time of our lives on D-day😉.
Getting back to our financial crisis this week, we were requested to find that much amount of money that week and it was really hard to get that much money but luckily all my teammates understood the situation and helped around. We were exhausted after running around the whole day in different places for the donation drive. It was indeed hard for everyone but because we have a sole reason which is to make this event happen, we put our exhaustion and disappointment behind us and keep moving around to find donation.
But they say never stop believing. We were still short in funds after the donation drive but a grace from heaven came to us and people donate their money for our project. We were touched and thankful to the people around us that help us in this dire situation. We distributed the pamphlet and people have donated to us little by little and we were really thankful. Words cannot describe the feeling of being rewarded after hard work. It makes it all worth it. We are undoubtedly grateful to everyone that donates even in a small amount.🙇
Putting behind the resolved financial crisis, now I am more excited to execute the program. I always have the interest in being facilitator👩 and this is what we are in for which are bonding, sharing and educating. Its gonna be a great program and hope it will run smoothly.
The reflection for this week is that i felt sad and dejected when we were rejected by companies yet there are light shone💛 on me in the dark times and i was so happy to get help from all these kind people that is alive in this world. Thank you💓. I learn to not give up and always believe that there are happy times that will guide you forward.
