Hi all! Well, we're in the midst of fund-raising right now!! We've got plans to organise a concert, a trip to a disaster site and start a donation drive! Things are sure getting exciting around here :) Well, with the flurry of activity in recent weeks, we've come to realise even more, about how much of help we're gonna need from individuals and organisations alike. So, if you feel like lending a hand in our efforts to improve things in our community, please do drop us an email or give us a call ya!?
Currently, we're looking into partnering with companies to improve the marketability of our donation coupons...An example would be like selling a coupon with a small portion dedicated to a discount voucher from a food outlet/ bookstore. So people, if you have any ideas, PLEASE, do let us know of them k?! Your contributions are much appreciated :)
Take care & we'll post more stuff soon!!
