During the last weeks we had been working on an english project to support Caritas.
A few weeks ago our english teacher proposed us to divide the class in groups to looked for information about different charities. Each one had to worked on a charity and thought a way to support it. Every group presented their ideas and after that, we chose the one that support Caritas because we thought that is very important to help people in need.
We started working on it thinking a fund activity to raise money for the charity. At the end we decided to organize an activity in the play ground called "What´s in the jar?". It consists to guess the exact number of candies that are in the jar, paying 1 euro to participate. The winner will win all the candies from the jar and all the money we raise will be to Caritas.
Before do it we needed the permission from the principal teacher of the High School. So many people from the class made a formal letter explaining the project and asking for permission. They made an english letter and a spanish one with the support of the spanish teacher Juana Perez.
The rest of the class had different responsibilities, for example hanging posters informing about the project across the School, buying the candies, counting them etc ...
Finally we did it on 10 Friday during the break in the play ground. The winner was Paula Ruiz from 4ºA and we raise approximately 100 euros.
I have enjoyed it a lot and i think nowadays is important to support charities so i´m very happy to help supporting one.
