Charity drive
In this project, our tasks that given by our lecturer :
a)Form a group with maximum 10 members (with one member elected as the project leader).
b)Decide what product(s) – physical or services – that your group will sell for the duration of the project.
c)Next, discuss which charity organization that your group would like to support i.e. donate all profits earned to it. It is useful to ask yourself these questions when considering part (c):
-What cause would my group consider to be worthy or important of supporting?; and
-Why is the cause worthy of our support?
d)At the end of the project, you will submit a charity drive project report in softcopy form. This report documents and details all decisions made by the group as well as the results obtained.
e)The report should not exceed 20 pages in length (excluding cover page, table of contents, references and appendices).
f)The report must be supported by relevant documents e.g. receipts, videos, photos, donation cheques, sponsorship letters, etc. (Note: The receipt books must be submitted separately to a dropbox provided on the report submission date).
g)Important: Ensure that you quote your sources (in APA style) and refrain from copying. I conduct plagiarism checks on all assignments submitted. Students caught with the said offence will face disciplinary action. Ignore this warning at your own risk.
h)If your group is selling food and beverages (F&B) during the charity drive, do take note of the following:
----If you plan to prepare the F&B yourselves, then ALL members of your group must take the typhoid
vaccine injection and email the vaccine certificate by 12pm, Thursday, 14 January 2016 to

----If you plan to obtain the F&B from a third party vendor, then you must get a copy of the vaccine
certificate from the third party and submit it by the above deadline.
----If the F&B you obtain from the third party is not sealed or packaged professionally, then ALL
members of your group must also take the vaccine injection and submit the certificates by the above
deadline.
----Submission of the typhoid vaccine certificate or request for permission to sell F&B after the deadline
will not be entertained. No exceptions will be made!
----Students who ignore the above rules related to F&B (such as selling F&B, whether in or outside the

Overall, we need to form a group around 10 people. My group mates are...
~ Yong Ai Yi (leader) ~ Lim Xiu Qing ~ Ngu Xian Le
~ Wong Cho Mun ~ Ho Zi Yan ~ Jason Goh
~ Ho Hong Lock ~ Yeoh Sin Yuen (me)
Then, we have a chance to experience on running a small business to earn and donate all the profit to a chosen charity organization. There was a profit target for us to reach, which is RM 2000. So, we need to record all the transaction and produce a detail report after we finish the charity drive. Hence, we also required to make a video for ourselves reflection through this project.

reflection
After I had get through this project, I finally understand that starting a business is not an easy stuff. We need to know at least the basic knowledge about business, accounting and also some economic. Through this few days, I was able to experience a lot of things such as walking around campus to promote our products, try to attract more customers to buy our products, raising fund outside our campus and much more. Everyday after we pack up our stall, most of us will have a small meeting to discuss our sales on that day and plan how to increase our sales on tomorrow. Furthermore, We need to concerned about the quality of our products especially ONIGIRI because it will lost its freshness after a day. Other than that, I also learnt that strategies and pricing are very important to increase our sales. This is because the customers only will buy things with the reasonable price. Hence, we are able to attract them to buy our product if we using the right strategies.
To make this charity drive being so successful, every group members need to collaborate well with each other. I was really appreciate to those who had help us a lot during this charity drive, especially for those who had donate and sponsor to us. I also need to say thanks to those friends who help us to buy our product which keep supporting us also. Last but not least, Ms Tay also helped us a lot by guiding us on the right track and helped to buy our products.
In conclusion, I really enjoy this assignment as I had a chance to experience new things and work with my fellow friends happily. Although it was not easy for us to reach the target set by our lecturer, but it still fun for us to learn how to start and manage a business, communicate with others, what strategies used to earn more profit and most importantly, how to apply all concepts we learned in class to our daily life.
