Eating ice cream has been one of the most awesome moments in most people’s life, it makes people happy, joyful, and forgets about stuff that has been bothering you.
Being too obsessed with the idea of giving and eating ice cream, Bravo team has decided to fundraise some money via car wash to buy delicious ice cream for underprivileged children, TO PUT A SMILE ON THEIR FACES.
So, this was what happened on 15 Jan – Fundraising Day/Car Wash Day. We have about 20 people, a bunch of people going houses to houses in USJ, door by door, asking the residents for car washing. And we are lucky that Bernard being such a great person offered his home for us to collect old newspaper and as a place to rest before getting out there and get more car washed.
As expected, we faced problems in getting people to have their cars washed by strangers. There were a lot of times when we asked 'is there any body home?', and silence is the only response! What makes it even funnier is there will be people who respond by shouting - “no body at home”, from inside the house.
Besides washing cars, we have also collected old newspaper, cardboards, clothes, shoes, bags and etc. Being so motivated, some of us even help an uncle to cut grass in his lawn by using scissors! ! !
Though it’s not easy wanting people let their car washed, we still managed to wash 20 cars, thanks for all the awesome volunteers who have worked so hard from morning till evening. Throughout the day, we fundraised RM1035, far from what we targeted. More than enough for us to buy ice cream! ! !
A few weeks after the car wash day. . . .
20 FEB 2011 – Ice Cream Distribution in House Of Joy, Puchong
Out of surprised, we managed to get The Last Polka, one of the best home made ice cream maker in KL to sponsor us 90 cups of ice cream worthed RM612.
The respond for this event was overwhelming as there are even more number of volunteers who joined us to distribute ice cream. As a result, the orphanage was overcrowded with people.
All the home made ice cream tastes so good, and it does put smiles on people’s face either volunteers or the kids. It’s ice cream that connect us and brighten our day.
Other than ice cream, the cool part about this orphanage visit was that we enjoyed dancing with the kids, playing balloon and plasticine. And what surprised us was the kids are very good in dancing. They have practiced for dancing and natural in it.
At the end of day, it was the kids who have brighten us.
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Cheers! !
