WHAT'S IN THE JAR?

In th last few weeks we had been working in a charity project that consists on doing an activity to raise money for Cáritas.

First,we made groups of four or five people and each one had to look for information about different charities in England .Each group was given a topic like people in need, animals ,environment ,etc. and discuss them in groups to see what of the charities was the best one to do our project.

The second step was to do a power point with the information of the charity and some ideas of activities in order to do it and raise money.I must say there were brilliant ideas like races with pets or  a sing star . The activity that won was mine and consist on filling up a huge jar with tones of sweets and the person who was going to participate had to pay one euro and say the number aproximately of candies that were in the jar.

Afterwards came the hard work like contact the director of Cáritas , write letters to the principal teacher to ask permission to take tables and  those things.Then with the permission we started promoting the activity putting posters all over the school and sending whatsapp messages .

We did the activity on different days in order to cover the principal part and the attached building .We earned more than one hundred euros and the director of Cáritas was very happy with us .

We gave the prize some days later and the winner was Paula Ruiz .We are very happy because we had helped poor people and we alson had eaten candies too.
