5 K run

The 5 K run was overall, a success. The money raised (approx 100000 rupees) was donated to Habitat for humanuty as well as the Alzheimers foundation (around 30 000 each) with a little left over for Habitat. The run was disorganised, there were lapses in communication, and although alot of people found the experience enjoyable and a good way to raise funds in conjunction with promoting excersise, there were the odd few who complained about the lack of organisation. the lesson taken from this is that before hosting a public event such as this, every detail should be looked over and confirmed so every person involved is clear on what is happening. there were some things that were out of our control though, such as the chief guest arriving late. There is nothing anyone can do about this so in the future back up plans should be made. I was put on the route to direct the runners towards school (the finish line).

Regarding alzheimers, i have been selling raffle tickets during the summer. I went about 3 or 4 times each for around 2/3/ hours. I was very busy so i didnt spend as much time as i would have liked to on that. The raffle draw is later this month, so i should start selling the tickets i have soon. think i'll make an announcement in assembly or put it in the daily bulletin.
