Aurelie and I joined the organizing team of our yearly event back in November. This year we wanted to do things differently and give a bit back to those less privileged than us. Over the past 3 months we've worked hard to design and organize this event. The idea was simple. We've organized a collection of food, clothes, toys, books and had people sort them out during the event. On top we managed to get tons of products that we could give to charity organizations: male grooming kits for homeless shelters, 1-year cleaning products for families in need, games for children, assembling Ikea furniture for an association taking care of handicapped people, etc.
Putting up this event has been a challenge especially when you want to get things for free or cheaper so you could save money on logistics and maximize the amount of products you will give. But we made it. Thursday we've spent the whole day (and evening) setting things up. Friday was the D day.
I believe the event was successful. We've donated in total more than 50 pallets of kits, products, etc. and the feed backs I received from the people was very positive.
Now I can go to bed and rest. Today I've done something to help others and it feels very good.
