Challenge 6: Funds for a Cause
raising money for a cause! this was the crux of this challenge! we had to introduce to the public the Garden City Fund! and raise money from the public for this fund! the teams that raise the most amount of money within 5 minutes would win the challange!
for those who are wondering what the garden city fund -GCF is, well basically it was launched in 2003 and it aims to enourage the community to express their ersonal stake in sustining the garden city of singapore! while the government will continue to fund basic green infrastructue, GCF works in partnership with individuals and corporations to support an sustain the garden city initiatives.
we had to raise money from the public who was outside the mall here at plaza sing! the people we talked to were really friendly and nice and listened briefly to us and just donated amounts ranging from 10cents to $5! wow! everyone who helped us were really nice and we are so so so appreciative of your efforts to help us out! seriously, no amount is too small to contribute to our garden city!
we hope that the members of the public whom we talk to wil undestand what we are raising money for- and aim to be more aware of such causes and want to donate generously and or be a part of this green movement!!!
we emerged as second with the amount raised of about $41 total! team c won because one of the team member’s father kindly dontaed $50!! so it was so close and we were so heart-pain :0
