Our class had planned to raise some funds for a Penang charity, we did this by buying some cookies and selling them to our school community. The previous week I was walking around trying my best to sell the peace cookies. I was forced to drop my original price of 2 RM by 50% because nobody was buying them.Then people found the price more reasonable and bought enough cookies to make over 600RM.
I was happy that we sold that many cookies. All of the money went into making t-shirts for the children in the Penang charity. I like to imagine the smiles that the children will have once we give them the shirts. That in itself is the reward I am looking for.
At school we also had a assembly for peace. I got up and spoke about some people who had given great example of peaceful protests and also I spoke about how peace has influenced us. In this assembly we also had to perform a dance using sign language. At the end it was a blast and I hope that everybody got the message.
