Volunteers setting up an exhibition for fund-raising

A group of past participants from a Cambodia Service Learning Trip launched a campaign to raise funds for Who Will Village, a non-government organization in Cambodia. Funds raised will be used to develop a solar energy system that could help the village become electricity self-sufficient for the next 25 years.

Description

Setting up a counter, inviting people to come by and donate is surely an extraordinary experience. A lot of people refuse to donate, simply because they don't want to listen or in a rush. Suddenly a question popped out in my mind: "What if they just came by and dropped that $15 that they are going to use for buying bubble tea?" That'll surely make a difference.
