GAFL Community Helpers Reflection 6th of June 2023

Written on the 6th of June 2023

On the 3rd of June 2023 Friday, we officially closed the first donation project we held amongst our school students and teachers, after about a month from the official opening, on the 12th of May 2023. We’ve received a lot of food and organized them in the 10th-floor cabinet room in our dormitory, which we got permission previously from our principal, at the start of the donation project. 

The points which we stunned and required advancements are advertising and managing aspects. After finishing our first donation we got direct feedback from teachers and our school students, about the information beneath.

1. Beware of weather conditions. 

2. Mandatorily push and pull out stands every time. (Only place them Sun Fri)

3. Keep as clean as we can

4. Change the list of donations regularly to keep it clean

5. Summer conditions

6. Call the foodbank for a donation

7. Set up QR codes on posters, finish them and send them to the teachers’ office for permission to stick them.

8. Give up newsletters since it was firmly rejected to use for in CAS projects.

9. Brainstorm better ways to advertise and appeal to our school.

10. Please place a pen outside also

11. Come early and leave late, for the students who are responsible for managing donated foods.

We also washed the plastic boxes which were outside, and the donated instant ramen which was kept dirty, well washed it. Fortunately, it was waterproof to be preserved without a problem. To prevent the same mistakes our team has made, we are organizing better rules and duties based on the features above.
