At a recent meeting of your college student committee, there was a discussion of fundraising for good causes. Here is an extract from the minutes of the meeting.
5 Any other business
5.1 Daphne Jones noted that college students raised over $4,500 for a number of good causes last year (including Oxfam, UNICEF, people with visual impairment, homeless people), but that the maximum raised for any one good cause was only $520. She suggested that next year one particular good cause should be identified, and all funds raised should go to this.
5.2 After discussion it was decided to ask students to write proposals.
Students should:
-identify a good cause and say they would like the college to support it.
-suggest what fundraising activities might be done
-say what part they will play in the fundraising process.
The college student committee will select the best proposal and choose the students to be in charge of fundraising.
You decide to write a proposal for them. Write your proposal in 300-350 words.
The world is in greater need of charity than ever before. A charitable person loves his fellow-beings and likes to help other people. The students are going to learn sensitive to the feelings of others. I think that a really good cause to support are the childrens in orphanage because they had a lots of problems and they dont have a really good and happy life, they dont have fathers or familiy. Also they dont have all the posibilities that a normal kid had, like a good educacion, love, toys, candies, oportunities, celebrations, etc. So support an orphanage is a good cause, is so easy to support and we are going to bring happiness to a lot of kids. The fundraising activities to do are very simple and inexpensive for example; donate books for education and fun, donate toys, gifts, clothes, candies, a day of different and funny activities, a day in the zoo, in the park, in the mall, etc. All the students can participate with their prescence and also donate toys, clothes, buying some stuff like candies or gifts. This activities will help the kids in the orphanage and the students to reflexionate. Charity is one of the most noble tasks that a man can do in his life because of that all the students have to bring something to the kids, but something that brings happiness to the students and to the kids, something that they remmember the rest of his life. The reason why i am suggesting this charity is because will help both sides, is so easy, cheaper and all the students like to play with kids or had things that they dont use anymore but are good and serve up. But this does not necessarily mean that one has to be a billionaire to show charity or to give something they dont need anymore.Even simple actions like feeding a kid for a day, or teaching a poor kid are acts of charity. Every student can do his own bit , and it would make some difference to another kid's life. Also, acts of charity should not be trumpeted.It should be done from the heart and not for grades or other commercial purposes.The best form of charity is the one in which the identity of the donor remains hidden.
