Fundraising


A big part of our Poland exchange project has been about fundraising.
The last three years we have put a lot of time and effort inn to it, and we are pleased with our result.
Here are some of the things we have done to raise money for the exchange:

Bazaar
Last winter we arranged a bazaar at our local elder center, where we sold lottery tickets and the elders could win prices.
The local stores were really helpful and sponsored us with a lot of nice prices.
The elders seemed verey pleased and we all had a really good time :)

 
 
 
Collecting bottles for deposit
I don’t know if you have the same system in Poland, but in Norway its normal to return used bottles for deposit and get money in return. Therefore, the boys in our class collected A LOT of bottles.

Arranging products for a Christmas market
Last week three of us got a job at “Egmont Publishing” which is Norway's largest
publishing company of weeklies and magazines. They also publish cartoons, books and movies.
Our job was to unpack products out of boxes, arrange, and store them for one of their Christmas markets.

Other than this we have had several bake sales, sold toilet paper and we have been babysitting.  We have also arranged two school parties. One last year celebrating summer break for 9th graders (our grade) , and one welcome party for the new 8th graders starting at our School.
