Hey hon,
Missed you last night. We stayed until 10:30pm trying to come up with more ways to increase the dhs raised. Lots of good ideas.
I'm also trying to raise enough donation of items before Nov 4th to take to Dubai to sell at a flea market to raise more money for the bands license to play, printing, etc. I know it's last minute, but if you can ask the other teachers, etc if they have something to donate for this, that would be great.
Is AAESS having any sale days like before? I can take a table then as well. I truly just need a bunch of flyers printed for this. Im paying this out of my own pocket and its not deep.....but if the school agrees to let you make copies for this, that would be a nice donation.
Also.....
If the kids can make auction paddle (you know, the ones that have a number on them for the auction) and decorate them in art class? I asked one principle to do this. But, her art teacher is overwhelmed with projects. It only should be simple. Maybe a cardboard, or posterboard on a stick, or something to hold it up, whatever that might be. It would be great if everyone one was different with creativity being the reason. Maybe give each student a beginning number from 100-? as many as would like to make. Then the people that want to bid can pick which paddle they want to use. It would be a great way to show the young adults/children a simple way that they can help make a change in the world around them by just doing one little thing. We can put them on a table at the door as ppl come in they can choose. It only takes one person at a time. I hope you are one of the ones that join us in this cause.
It's going to be an amazing Awareness event about what locals can do to help women/children that are being abused, and there are two other charities Iim working with now that may be a part of this. One is Cure from Oasis hospital. They do surgeries on children with cleft palates, deformities, etc that cant afford it. As well as the Filipino house, who I personally believe needs the grassroots help.
