It's the night before our second bake sale and I have concocted some very superior cookies. Hopefully they'll sell somewhat effectively otherwise I'll be disappointed and disconsolate. I'll probably have to buy them myself.
At least I get to eat them...
UPDATE: The bake sale was a the second failure in terms of bake sales because not enough members brought food to sell. So disappointing.

Bake Sale - So Hungry
We've organized a bake sale to take place on Wednesday during break and lunch to raise some funds for transport. The students of Kilinochchi will take a bus to OSC with this money...
The bake sale was surprisingly very successful! We made about 7000 rupees which is a good starting point but another bake sale may be organized to boost funds.

Fundraising Update!
It sounds as though the fashion show is going to be too difficult to pull of because the fundraiser itself needs to relate to something of global importance or needs to involve the students of Kilinochchi in a way. Gecko Inc. believes that the students of Kilinochchi wouldn't be interested in something like that.
Our next idea is to hold a small basketball tournament that would require a small fee/donation to enter a team of 4 players into the competition. The Kilinochchi team would not have to pay of course. We think this would be a more effective and enjoyable use of the short time we have with them.

New Fundraising Proposition!
The new idea for raising enough funds to help the children at Kilinochchi primary, is very strange but apparently very effective. A fashion show is being planned to take place early next year and a bake sale to compliment the event! The general idea is to have an appropriate theme for the clothing and ask for a small donation for the opportunity to walk the runway, just like a supermodel!
The one big issue with this fundraiser is time. We don't really have as much time as we would like to have, so planning this event is going to be difficult. The hardest part will be acquiring sponsors for the fashion show in such a limited amount of time...
