so on a cold and frosty morning, as early as 7am (after a meet-up at 6.30am), in striking yellow vests, armed with a clip board, a pen, a counter - and anything else to make the job bearable - off went about 100 people, mainly students - stationed at intersections - counting the traffic.yes, you count the vehicles going straight, turning left, turning right.
amongst this group of people were few people from the Malam team - who will contribute a certain amount of their earnings into the Malam fund.
yup, that's one of our fund-raising projects ;) it's actually a pretty easy (and monotonous) job - and you earn quite a lot too. So we thought this would be a good way to raise some funds.
thanks to Wan Yin's ingenius ideas! :)
i forgot to take pictures of Azmir and Natasha - they were there too. And there will be BenJ who will be taking up the afternoon shift later.
i had prior commitments in the morning so i couldn't work the full session - gutted. but that's why i also had time in the morning to take some photos and do some stuff :)
There will be more activities to come. Will update them here and do let us know if you wanna help out. you dun have to be in the team to help us with the fundraising btw ;) if you feel like it, why not? glo promises a treat for you :)
Once again, thank you to the team members who took their time out :)
On another note, finally the proposal is finished and awaiting editing from the experienced. We are right on dot with our deadlines - awesome!
June will be the exam month so there will be a slow-down. Nevertheless, do keep visiting us and feel free to leave us a shout whenever! We will be updating as often as we can!
till then, enjoy the lovely sun!

"champions take chances, pressure is privilege"
you probably won't read this by now, but spending all those time "counting" cars and "raising" funds...is really time-consuming and demoralising.... no?
try targetting chch business and malaysians entities? mas? petronas? msd? foundations? vip? vvip?
hie kam :)
time-consuming - YES.
Demoralising - NO ;)
our fund-raising activities go into two streams:
1. Fund-Raising Activities
we aren't doing much of these coz obviously time is the limiting factor. am targetting to raise about at least NZD400-500 from these actvities. enough to cover our transportation subsidy and some other stuff. i dun see why it's not worth a try :)
2. Sponsorship hunts from SMEs, big businesses etc etc etc etc.
The sponsorship team has sent out sponsorship letters along with a project proposal to what we call, the 'big fish'. and we are also working on sponsorships, either in-kind or cash form, from shops and outlets ;) oo.. and the UCSA gold grant too! :D we are hoping to raise at least NZD5000 from here :)
