Despite the differences in race and religion, most Singaporeans were friendly even to strangers who knocked on their door on a Saturday morning. This built up my confidence in talking to strangers.

One most important thing I have taken away from this experience is to persevere on when dealing with rejection. Although we were met with a lot of rejections initially, our efforts paid off when we chanced upon kind charitable donors willing to support the cause.

Initially I was apprehensive about doing the door-to-door sales because personally I’m not one who likes having strangers knock on my door. Hence, I was not too hopeful about the project as I was convinced that everyone was like me, and would not be keen in purchasing the goods that I would be selling. To my surprise, my very first sale turned out to be the most expensive item – the bag. I was indeed taken aback and after rounds of sales, it became apparent to me that the residents there are rather friendly and approachable. In all honesty, it seemed that those who purchased the goods really did so for they could empathise with us, students, who were doing our with community service even on a weekend.
In a nutshell, this was an eye-opening experience and I have changed my perspective towards door-to-door sales, as well as the community I’m living in. Perhaps Singapore is really a warm state :)

For this VIA,

# data[].attributes.body
It has help animal and humanity by bridging a connection which allows for the cohesive environment where animal welfare matters as much as our personal interests do. With this, the animals have better treatment and humans have acheived a massive step in achieving a greater world for all.

I've learnt that everyone can play a part in helping the animals through many different ways such as promoting or raising awareness about the issues they're facing and advocating for the love for animals

i learnt that it is important not to give up and persevere on even when we are rejected. We also have to make use of both chinese and english to let people from different background understand us and that put our language skills to the test.

Also we had a good kfc class lunch after the morning via, which taught us the need to cherish and treasure what we always had in our lives. Kfc was never so finger licking good. Hence we are reminded of the existence of starvation in the world, which we are really oblivious of.

People know more about animals. So they save animals and save the environment, because animals are friends, not food. I think the community certainly learnt more about this philosophy from all of us, and hopefully everyone will learn to like animals more. In school, we also learn about these things. But now we make the world our school. We school the world. Hence, we spread the knowledge we learnt in school, complementing it nicely. On this beautiful day, we are all animals. And so we are all friends, not food.

This has helped to raise awareness of animal cruelty which is important because animals also have their precious lives so we must protect and take care of them. The VIA was definitely enriching. The residents were very kind and willing to donate.

It has raised awareness on animal cruelty by advertising the carnival. Through this, it has provoked the public' social conscience and educated them, eventually leading to a more civilized and responsible society should the act upon it.

we should return to our Neanderthal stages whereby we can empathize with them, live hand in hand with them, with a steak in the knife and a mouth ready to eat. Only then can we truly understand and empathize them.

After this door-to-door sales VIA, I feel that our community is actually very willing to help people/animals who are in need. Many people donated to help play a part in raising the funds and some of them asked nothing for return which is very heartwarming.

Though we were unable to see the results of our VIA as we were just helping to raise funds instead of directly working with our target group, I think it was still a good learning experience in terms of building confidence and practicing our elevator pitches. This can contribute to training us for future oral presentations and interviews.

The community know more about sanitisation through our OVIA trip. Although we only built 2 toilets for 2 households in the village, it could spread awareness about cleanliness in a place where majority of the households do not have toilets.

I have learnt that it is always important to take the first step. When going door to door, it always feels daunting and we may be unwilling to knock on the door first. However, we will have to try, as we will never know what fun and meaningful experiences await.
So, don't be afraid, and take the first step.

The most important thing I have learnt is to fight for the cause you feel strongly for. We have came across some people who aren't that well off, yet they are willing to donate a lot more than others because they believed in the cause we are "fighting for". (Importance to help the animals).
