The PTO organized a welcome back picnic today in which every club got an opportunity to fund raise by setting up booths. I helped out this year with Interact, NHS, and Artsco by helping run the booths as well as taking photos for photography.
Interact organized a used book sale in which all our members brought in old books that were just gathering dust on their shelves. Every book was sold at 50 KSh and we had a surprising turnout. The funds will go towards supporting future interact operations.
National Honor Society set up both a cotton candy/shaved ice stall and a table full of Maasai crafts created by Maasai women trying to raise money to send young girls to school and save them from early marriages. The shaved ice was an instant favorite and hordes of kids came running for the cotton candy. A large percentage of our funds, however, went to the vendors themselves since we hired them for the day. A potential improvement next time is to perhaps try cutting out the middle man to therefore limit some losses. The picnic was a great opportunity to raise funds as well as bring the school community together for an afternoon.
