Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

As a fundraiser we decided to have a movie night for secondary students, choosing a movie was hard because there were a lot of things we had to think about, one of the hardest were that there would be people with an age range from 11 to 19. We chose to show Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which at first seemed a bit weird to show secondary students an animated movie but it ended up being very entertaining! We decided on a price of 200rps per ticket and started selling them to secondary students.

I had to be in the auditorium a bit early to help set up everything and I brought in cinnamon rolls to sell. We sold drinks and various foods from muffins to sushi. In total we raised 12,450 rupees (!) which surprised us because we only need 20,000 rps to pay for the whole sterilization campaign which will be held on the 27^th of November, which is the goal for this service. There ended up being about 30 people, including everyone in the service, but it was a successful night and we raised a lot of money!

Dog food anyone?

Over the last month we had a food drive, collecting in medicine and dog food varying from rice to Pedigree and then donating it to the dog pound in Pelawatte. For primary, we put a box in each classroom were the students, teachers and faculty could put what they brought in, and for secondary we put two boxes for every class. On those boxes we put a list with the different items they could bring in with the points you would earn, obviously, the more expensive items earned more points. A few of us collected the food from the boxes every week and brought it to Ms. Huijnen’s room who counted up the points. 

Primary is always a lot more enthusiastic about these things so we decided to have two different prizes for secondary and primary. Primary’s prize was a pizza party, paid for completely by D.A.W.G and secondary would get free tickets to the movie night we were organizing. In primary there was a very close competition between 5S and 4D, but 5S won by 12 points so we ordered pizza and drinks for them. In secondary 6.1 won so we gave them free tickets to the movie night. In total we collected in 176kg of rice, 125kg of dog food and some medicine which the manager of the dog pound came to collect, and in return is giving us collars for the sterilization which is coming up soon!
