Halloween Canteen

 Planning 

On 31st of October, we will have a Halloween disco after school where people can dress up with Halloween costumes and dance in the hall. I wasn't directly involved in organising the disco, but I was planning to set up a little cafe

to sell food for this. The profits the cafe will make will be used for a charity. We had 5 people to set up the cafe and the menu we thought of were sushi and Korean traditional food called Sam gak Kim bob(foreigners call this Triangles as it has a triangle shape), because foreigners especially Russian in the school seem to love it. We also added toasts in menu, as they were simple ones which we could easily cook and sell. The price for each menu was a bit higher than the standard, since the aim of this was to make as much profits as possible for the charity. The day before the disco, we decided not to sell Sushi, because we were not really confident to make it and didn't have a refrigerator to save raw fish. We bought 36 bread, ham and cheese for toasts and made 60 triangles which were 20 more than the previous plan as we put Sushi off in the list.


Service (Selling food)/ Charity (global issue) 



One of the worrying things on this day was we made too many triangles compared to people who would remain for the disco. So we decided to start to sell them just after school, so people going back home could also buy some. We couldn't sell all of them, but many people bought them and the remain was only about 5. Teachers and many students left the feedback that they really liked it.  As I was the one who was selling triangles, I felt so fulfilled and great.  For toasts, 36 was not enough, so we went to buy more, but bought too much and had to leave some as people didn't buy as much as we bought. However, in total we made a lot of profits which was about 5500 rubles and this will go for the charity.

About the Charity

Not only my group, but others also collected money from such things as tickets for disco and mini backery during lunch time. The money we have collected is about 40000 rubles which can help weakers of the society a lot. We first consdiered to send all the money for the homeless people. It is good to help people who wander around because there is nowhere to go, but to some extent some homeless people lose their home because of their fault(such as gambling, debt). Therefore, we decided to send some money, not all to them. The remained will be used for helping disabled children. I always think that I am such a lucky person as I am given a good environment to study and have no problem physically. However, some children at my age or even much younger have difficulties in their lives because of physical handicap they had. We wanted to give some hope and opportunities to these little people who should have hope for their lives, with the money we collected.
