According to the initial plan, there was supposed to be 6 days' supply of food but due to the fact that the school decided to extend the activity by one more day (13 August 2014) and an increase in the number of participants, the budget has increased from $600 to $1404 in total.
Although PSG raised only $1284 on PTM day for the project, we had enough reserved funds to subsidize the remaining costs.
Students contribute too! |
Though the PSG has increased the catering amount from 50 people to 70 people, we have failed in providing enough food for everybody. Thus, I would like to recommend that for next year's Foodie Days Project, the PSG should increase the catering number to 120 people.
So many hungry mouths to feed! |
During the course of the project, we received a feedback from one of the parents who donated money that his/her child did not get to eat any food during the project. I would like to state that this project runs on a first-come-first-served basis, thus your donation, although deeply appreciated, does not guarantee food for your child. Likewise, your child would not be denied food even though you did not make any donations towards the project.
We are the lucky bunch! |
Therefore, I seek your understanding towards this matter. I would also like to use this platform to encourage more parents to engage their time to volunteer for subsequent projects similar to this one, as well as make generous donations to other such activities.
