Project Lesotho

This week we have a project, to collect money for a school in Lesotho. The money will then go to giving the school internet so they can use it for their schoolwork. The first week we were planning how and what we were supposed to collect the money. One idea was to sell cake, and that’s what we ended up with. We split into four groups, one where going to sell at the school, one at the station, one in Oslo, and the last group where filming it so they later can make it into a movie/sketch. 

I was on the group who were supposed to well at the school, so baked a cake the day before the sales. When we arrived at the school we did the finishing planning, made a poster with the cause and the prices written on it, and hung it on the table we were selling our cakes and cupcakes. We sat and sold for about two and a half hour. At the end we hadn’t sold all the cakes, but all of the brownies where gone, but some cupcakes and applecake were left. Clearly brownie is people’s favorite. 

All in all the project went pretty well, even though we didn’t collect as much money as I hoped, but I don’t know how much the other groups collected, and maybe they did better. Even though it didn’t have much to do with English, the project was a good way to do something new, and not just sit in the classroom all day, and it was all for a good cause!
