International Day

Our school held an International Day event. Each class got their own theme. We were asked to open a booth, do a performance and also decorate our class. We decided to decorate our class with Chinese ornaments, do a performance and sell Chinese foods and Chinese paper cutting to raise some money for the orphanage.

We need about a whole school week to finish them all. First, we made the decorations such as Chinese lanterns, Chinese firecrackers and also Chinese paper cutting for raise money.

After finished the class decorating, we start to prepare the performance. We decided to sing a Chinese song ‘宁夏’and we also prepares some simple moves. We repeat practicing so many times since some of us can’t pronounce the words correctly and keep making mistakes in the same part since the words are hard to pronounce.

Then the day before the event, we go to the market and buy the things we need to sell. It costs around Rp. 500,000 to buy all the things.

We sold the stuffs and got around Rp. 1022,000. So it’s around Rp. 500,000 profit. We decided to buy foods and goods for the less fortunate.
I think we have done a great team work during the class decoration and during the fund raising. But if we need more time preparation to improve the quality of the work.
