Do you notice that more kids in schooLs' uniform are seLLing donation tickets ?..

[Fishypie]

Wonder if it's through their schooLs' own donation programmes, or if these coupons are being soLd on a commission basis for these kids to make some extra $ ?..

My bone of contention is, if it's for purpose of personaL commissions; why shouLd these kids purposedLy put on
schooL uniforms ?..to misLead buyers thinking that is for the schooL's project ?..

Charity in sinkieland is nothing more than an exercise in moral posturing.

The kids should make a commission for themselves. When in Sec 2, I had to collect donations for some organisation. Collected coins in a tin can in exchange for some sticker they pasted on their shirts. Liat Towers/Shaw Centre was where i waited for donors. When the tin can was quite full, went to a stairwell and emptied some of the coins by sticking a strip of hard cardboard into the coin slot, turned the tin can over and out slid the coins. Got quite a bit - enough for a pizza at Copper Kettle, didn't bother me wearing my school uniform in there.

Cheers!

It was a very Singaporean thing to do. Give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.

My cousin was in St. John's. He got to see Harlem Globetrotters when they came to Sg while we were in school. Never did anything like that in my work life - an Honest John.

Yes. Paid in fifty and twenty-cent coins. Money is money, they still accepted. It was obvious, I carried the tin-can with me into the restaurant.

Cheers!

I don't give. That's the better choice. You make them think harder next time. Don't encourage them. Let them give up touting and using poor kids for such things.

NKF type of TV donation drives don't work these days ?
