THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS WE BROUGHT THE STRAY DOGS FROM THE SHELTER TO OUR EVENT BOOTH LET PUBLIC SEE THEM AND PLAY WITH THEM, THE PURPOSE TO BRING THEM TO PUBLIC IS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE SPECIAL NOT DIFFERENCE AND THEY JUST NEED MORE LOVE FROM US. WE BROUGHT 4 DOGS AND 1 PUPPY TO OUR EVENT. WE HAVE ALSO DISTRIBUTE THE WORKS LIKE SOME ARE DOING EXPLAINING, OTHERS TAKING CARE OF THE DOGS AND SOME ARE DOING DONATION AND SELLING.

WE HAD 2 SPONSORS WHICH IS HELLO PET FROM CHERAS FOR SPONSORING MERCHANDISES AND KSKA ARKITEK SDN BHD FOR SPONSORING US PRINTING. I FELT ENJOYING DOING THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I HAD LEARNT DOING CHARITY IS NOT THAT EASY WHICH WE NEED A LOT OF PASSION LIKE HELPING STRAY DOGS. WE ACTUALLY DIDN'T DO MUCH COMPARE TO OTHERS BIG CHARITY BUT I HOP THIS MONEY CAN HELP ALL THE DOGS GETTING A BETTER SHELTER OR GETTING BETTER FOOD AND SO ON. OTHER THAN FUND RAISING, WE HAD ALSO SUCCESSFULLY CREATED AWARENESS TO THE PUBLIC LET MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEM AND HOW TO TAKE CARE ABOUT THEM. LASTLY, AS A LEADER IN THIS PROJECT, IT'S NOT THAT EASY FOR MANAGING ALL THIS, RATHER THAN JUST DISTRIBUTE THE WORKS, NEED TO THINK HOW TO REACH OUT AIM ON THIS CAMPAIGN AND HOW TO REACH OUR FUND RAISING GOAL.
