Share Your Kindness



 
On the 27th of November IB students from Lyceum 10 held a Charity Fair. It took place in Lyceum 10 and at the same time in Higher School of Economics.

The main purpose of this charity campaign was to raise money and then spend it on presents for children from orphanages, cancer patients, etc.

The idea was to organize an area where many different shops, selling various items like food, handmade accessories and holiday cards, would be placed. Such goods would attract our target audience (students).

To achieve this goal our big team was divided into several functional groups. One of the groups was working on advertising posters, a logo of the charity event and decoration of the place. Besides, we had a group of people whose aim was to attract ‘producers’ (people who provided things for sale – self-cooked food and hand-made things such as jewelry, stationary, pictures and toys). There also was a group coordinating all the process, they were the managers of the project.

Our efforts were worth it. The fair was amazing! The main thing is that people were actively involved in the charity campaign.  Some of them gave different goods and services that we could sell at the market. We had a great choice of bakery and confectionery items, such as muffins, cheesecakes, hand-made candies, fortune cookies, cupcakes, and biscuits. Even our history teacher, Mr. Stoehr baked chocolate chip cookies, which were very popular among buyers. Students and teachers were happy to buy our goods and show their kindness at our charity fair. With combined efforts, we have managed to raise enough money to achieve our main aims. 

         A few weeks earlier, we held a charity week in the lyceum. Many students took part in it. They brought different warm clothes for people who are in need. It means that our students care, they think about others and try to make them feel warm and comfortable in such a cold winter.
