BUS final project : charity drive
In this project,our tasks are as follows:
a)Form a group with maximum 4 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: a.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, 19th Nov 2015 to [email protected]. b.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. c.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. d.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! e.Students who ignore the above rules related to F&B (such as selling F&B, whether in or outside the campus, without the said certificates submitted by above deadline) will automatically be given a “Fail” grade for this project. Ignore this warning at your own risk! |

Process
After Ms Tay had gave us the brief,we immediately form a group of 5 which included me,Chia Keh Chian,,Cha Yun Xian, Chan Koon Qi and Darrly Harvey Lawremce.At first,we had discuss what type of products are we going to sell during the charity drive and what kind of organization are we going to donate to.After fews times of discussion,we finally decided to donate to PAWS(animal welfare society).So we visited to the PAWS shelter to tell us the purpose of our charity drive and asking for permission in order to donate all the money to them.At the same times too,we have decided to sell somethings which is easy to make and keep in order to prevent its spoil and to control the numbers of products that we are going to make which is jelly.Finally,we decided to sell things which are fruit base,what are we sold is fruits jellies and fruit drinks.Eah of us are assigned with different jobs during the charity drive,for example Koon Qi was incharge of promoting jellies and take care of the stalk,Chia and Cha were incharge of asking for donation and promote jellies around the campus and i was incharge of making fruit juice and taking care of the stalk.For the report,we separate our jobs well.

Reflection
From this project,i was able to know that starting a business is not easy.All of the hardwork and groupwork is require in order to make this charity drive successful.I was very appreciate to those who had help us a lot during this charity drive for example all of those who had donate to us and sponsor to us . Through this fews day, i was able to learn a lot of things,i was able to learnt how to actually increase our sales by promoting our products not just in front of the stalk but around the campus.Other than that,packaging is very important in order to attract customers .Besides that,the way of keeping our products in order to always maintain the quality of the products is always important since there were actually fews of our products spoiled,= and we are very sorry of that.Other than that,strategies and pricing is also very important to increase the sales because customers will not buy things that are too expensive and we are able to attract them to buy our product if strategies used by us is correct.Overall,this is a very fun project which I have learnt a lot of think and very enjoy it a well.
