January Update

The two weeks before the event in January, I had to figure out the nit-picky details of the event, like the order of how offering will be collected on Fri/Sat shows, if we're going to talk on stage about the rotations, when the NGOs are introduced, who will be doing what on the day, etc. It was a little stressful and nervewracking to think about all those details sometimes. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and like things to go as they're planned, so I like to have everything covered and ready before the day. I made a volunteer sign-up sheet for Fri/Sat/Sunday where students from the various service-related clubs signed up to help. There were some people who signed up and then said they couldn't go, so that was a little headache. At least they gave advanced notice, or I would be stressing out on the day. The PA graciously supported our event and gave us supermarket vouchers for the lucky draw. Thos were bought in January too. I sent out a final reminder email to the teachers who were doing the workshops and provided them with a schedule of the day and the room they're going to be in. The NGO details were finalized, and Melanie from Helpwise helped to organize them. Oh and during several days afterschool and during the weekend, I helped to sort clothing for the clothing drive. We received A LOT of clothing, which is absolutely amazing. We had all sorts of clothes - baby clothes, children, woman, men, toys, shoes, bags, scarves, etc. Anyways, I just made sure that all the little details were good during these two weeks before the event.
