Me, Josh, Niamh, John, and Luis organized a movie night for the primary school in order to raise money for educations towards kids living in the slums. We were supossed to organize and raise money for the children individually, but we got together and started working as a group. Time wise, we were about three weeks behind, and we needed a way to raise money fast. We ran around talking to different priniciples, supervisors and other teachers to think of ideas in which we can raise the money. We talked as a group and came up with the idea of organizing a movie night. We know that the primary kids all enjoy movies and so, we found that the most effective way to raise a lot of money in a short amount of time. Me and Niamh went around to every grade and had a vote of three films to determine which was the best to show
the movies were
-Cats and dogs II
-Despicable me
-Megamind
Cats and dogs was the most voted movie amongst all grades, so that was the one chosen to be shown. The movie would take place on Friday the 13th of May 2011. We planned to have the grades gather in the cafeteria, eat their paid for popcorn and juicebox and then bring them to the PMPR afterwards. No food is allowed in the Primary Multi Purpose Room, which is why we decided to let them finish in the cafeteria first. Each of the kids paid 200 rupees for the movie, one popcorn and one juicebox.
The total amount of money we raised was about 20,000 rupees.
