what i learnt from this via is that it is not easy to raise funds and people walk away more often than they stay to interact with the booth. 

for the next via, maybe we can cut down on our spendings]]> 2023-09-14 23:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704927903 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704928490 The VIA was relatively interesting. It was quite fun selling stuff at the game booths and raising funds for caregivers and the elderly. I learnt about how the life of caregivers are extremely tough and stressful, having to care for an elderly that may be quite difficult to handle, and how we all should appreciate them more even if we can't see them.
An area of improvement is in the fact that we should have planned for a charity we wanted to do earlier, as they take several months to reply or not at all.]]> 2023-09-14 23:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704928490 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704928544 I think that this VIA is quite meaningful, whereby we raised funds to improve the quality of life of caregivers and elderlies.

we can start our via sooner and make instructions clearer ]]> 2023-09-14 23:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704928655 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704929056 it was kinda hard to plan because we did not have a lot of information and we were always busy with our other things. 
I learnt that we need to ask the organisation earlier as well as learning how to talk to others
we can improve by having better planning of our resources and go to other recesses and maybe after sch.]]> 2023-09-14 23:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704929056 sierra_chrisandra_canlas https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704929785 I hope that the funds helped the caregivers and seniors and made a little difference to their lives. Through this project, I learnt that some elderlies and caregivers do not have the best quality of life, so hopefully the funds help them out. 
For the next VIA, perhaps we can put up more posters at the booth to show others what the fundraising is for.]]> 2023-09-14 23:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704929785 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704929951 1. it was ok

And in little ways we can raise funds for charitable organisations which is meaningful.

We should decorate our booth further to attract attention and sell more items (handmade?)]]> 2023-09-14 23:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704930341 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704930405 The VIA was meaningful and fun as we got to sell items enthusiastically which was really nice, especially since we are doing it to fund the caregivers and elderlies. From this VIA, I learnt that raising funds is not as easy as it may seem and that for a campaign which sells things, we need to be brave and confident and outgoing. For the next VIA, I think it can be done better by doing it on public.]]> 2023-09-14 23:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704930405 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704930414 - I think it's very meaningful as we raised funds for the elderly and caregivers

i learnt that raising funds takes a lot of effort and time

for our next via, we can start earlier and promote it more]]> 2023-09-14 23:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704931786 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704931791 I feel that this VIA was quite meaningful.

We learned that caregivers work tirelessly and their jobs are incredibly difficult. 
We should have decorated the booth more]]> 2023-09-14 23:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704931966 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932341 i think that the VIA was a good initiative because a lot of SG's population is elderly and we need to raise awareness and show care for them because they are a part of our community. I learnt that we can all contribute in our own ways even if it is a small action like helping out at the booth. We can hold the VIA booth for a longer period of time so that students have more chances to buy from the booth]]> 2023-09-14 23:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932341 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932599 the via is meaningful as it helps the caregivers and elderly by raising funds to improve their standards of living. raising funds for the via is not easy. the via can improve by preparing more products to sell.]]> 2023-09-14 23:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932599 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932859 The via was really meaningful as this help to raise awareness of the struggle of the elderly people. i think that i have to give back to my community and help the elderlys that are in need. i think that the next via, we should try to invlove more people]]> 2023-09-14 23:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932859 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704932866 I think the via was meaningful and it was fun selling stuff and raising funds.
I learn about the struggles of caregivers.
In our next via, I think we can reduce some of the spendings.

At the same time I also enjoyed managing the booth with my friends as it was a quite unique experience.
Through this VIA i learnt the importance of doing my part to contribute to the society in different ways such as raising funds.Even though as a indicidual or small group，the funds raised may not be enough but it is a collective effort to help those in need in the society.
I think in the future，we should design more games to attract more students to come to the booth so that more funds can be raised.]]> 2023-09-14 23:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704936257 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704936565 I think that this activity is very meaningful as the caregivers' challenges as taking care of elderlies must have taken a toll on their physical and mental health and elderlies are also facing more problems as they age so they really need our help. Thus, I am really glad that we did this VIA and made donations. Setting up the booths and be brave to invite people takes courage too. I hope we can promote our VIA even better to attract more people to our booths.]]> 2023-09-14 23:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704936565 https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704938315 - I think this VIA is really meaningful as it aims to improve lives of members of society

the range of items sold at the booth could be wider and carrying it out outside of school would be more interesting and fun. overall the committee did a great job]]> 2023-09-14 23:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/leong_shao_wen_nicole1/3tvacq09dk623cg2/wish/2704938870
