I think the post that I asked support was just about fixing the basketball ring. The feeding was just my own initiative to help the children.
Maybe I'm not sure how to ask for support because I'm not used to this. It was @chrisrice who encouraged me to find a school that needs help. I did the research, investigation and interviews and I thought it was good enough. Can you tell me how to do it because I think I did it in a wrong way.
I am not an expert too. People usually like to see the expenses in forms of e-bills that they might verify by someone who lives in same country.
U know the world is filled with scams. Even if we wanna help, our heart and brain fight to justify if it's not another scam. I would suggest some documents or bills like how people show of medical bills when asking for funds. This case is different but there must be some way to let the readers know how much exactly is needed and verify that it was used to the right cause.
Ah, so that was it, well, I think for now I don't have something to show. When the basketball ring was fixed, it was because of the cooperation of the teenagers. I didn't go canvassing for products since no one asked about the materials that I would need.
What I did was asking for scrap materials from people who could provide the basketball board, and then for welding works. I only provided them with food, drinks after, there was no money involve. Basically, I did not spend that much.
However, in this recent post I asked for support from these children. I only did mentioned that even if it will be just pen, pencils, papers and notebooks and that will be for 59 students. I don't know the exact expenses for it since I have no idea the prices of these school supplies. Thanks for the information, I will write a different post for a better information, like details of the possible in expenses in acquiring those school supplies. And also, about scam things, I will be doing a video recording while letting the teacher and the children about what they received.
Thanks for understanding ☺️
You will slay it soon!
Of course, no hate because my intention is not for scamming. I will be gladly accept criticism or maybe, simply questions because it's true that it's hard to trust these days especially when it involves money.
By the way, I began asking the teacher about the notebooks and papers are needed of each child. Maybe a separate post will be better for it.
I am dropping a small upvote from Curation. I will be watching.
Make sure to win heart of people who might have any doubts.
Just imagine another scenario, u are good person but the other person who asked for funds might be scamming you? What if the teacher just takes 60% of the cut straight from the funding? We have to be careful in these materials and must document everything. Make sure kids also get the supplies.
Currently, the post didn't convince me but i am supporting you in hopes u will do better next time. If u had done it better, i would have been upvoting by more power/powers. All u need in one right eye (person) to get the exposure u r looking for. But those eyes will make sure u r not scamming or u r not being scammed too.
Thanks. I think I will be doing it this way. I already asked the teacher how many notebooks and papers are needed in every student. From that, I will have now an idea how many notebooks I'm going to buy. When she will replied about the details I'm going to send her the school supplies directly to the children and the teacher will just be a bridge when I am giving it.
The ordinary notebook in our country Philippines is cost of 30 pesos = 2 hive = 0.6 USD. I am just waiting for the responses and will be writing later the details that you mentioned, no bills for now.
my conversation with the teacher.
If u r from the Philippines then why post in hive ghana? Philippines have their own community and are well supported.
Maybe if some community mods from your country understand and support u, it will help u do it faster.
I wish I didn't mix the Philippines with some other county in my head. If I am correct adamada and the witty zill/zell should be the right persons to connect with. Are they Philippines, i am not sure about that at the moment.
