we took portrait shots for people with print on the spot service, charging $5/- per shot printed, at the Merlion Park. all proceeds (100% of collections) went to Salvation Army in aid of the tsunami victims. we raised approx. S$13,000 (apologies, can't recall exact figure) over 3 weekends (approx. 400 prints per day)

Thank you.

Excellent!

While monies are always necessary, I feel the effort itself is a lot more important!

now that you all mentioned it, still feel very touched looking at the first two threads leh :sweat: given the fact that everyone started as total strangers

welcomed, and thanks! also many participants took back some necessary knowledge to run a project like that, so in case (touch wood!) there's another disaster like the last one in this region, hopefully we can respond to the call.

i still recall receiving discouraging private messages that predicted the failure of such efforts ... oh well, those were good lessons too :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

simple.........

Punggol so many secondary school... grab them all go do CIP la.. best.. i am sure the clusters of schools can do something !

ask NEA for support. i am sure they can do something about it... and if a government body can come into the picture, i am the schools would be glad to support.

:bsmilie: good idea :thumbsup:

but i usually prefer to start without official support, more meaningful for things to start from the ground than let things come down from above

bro thanks...

i dunno my own standard. but i feel that i need to improve a whole lot before i can convince myself to release a photobook for myself.

In situations like these, so-called "failure" is the least of my concern.

And as far as I am concerned, there is no "failure" in such projects. Even if you raised "zero", the effort of caring enough to do something is itself a success.

I had spent time working in the borders of Thailand, and also Indonesia, working with displaced people affected by political disruptions. For me, knowing that somewhere out there, others are trying to help in own different ways, was of tremendous encouragement.
