BAP & PAP worked together and started a so called
“competition”, it was indeed a competition to raise money,
but the money raised will be used for people who needs it. E.g
people who live in poverty. Doing so helps people to change
their mindsets and causes one another to influence each other
to donate more. Donating more will also be supporting the
business in a way and the business would be using the profits
made to help the people who needs it, therefore by donating
and having a mindset of making the business better would
also indirectly be helping the people in need.

6. What can we do to
contribute?
Share a meal donation.
It was organised by our school to donate some of our pocket
money no matter how small to help people suffering from
hunger.
BB share a gift
Organised by the Boys’ Brigade in Singapore, from
November to December. this activity strives to help the less
fortunate by packing together the food donated by the
public and a form of ‘Christmas’ present to them. These
packages are then delivered to them.
