Outdoor Promotion at Bishan

A great day for the outdoor selling of duckies at Bishan estate. :) To most of us, it was our first time doing such a promotion and street collection in public, but it is meaningful...for charity. ;)

I was mainly stationed around the Bishan Community Library surroundings. When we first started we were quite shy, but after some time... we got the momentum and were able to approach the public easily. Well... generally, I think the public's responses were not bad. Those who have heard about the duck race were rather supportive in this event again this year and they came forward to give to the 6 beneficiaries by adopting a duck from us. =)

At other locations, such as the Bishan bus interchange as well as near the Bishan MRT station, some other groups of our student volunteers were actively helping in promoting the duck race to the public. Despite the hectic lifestyle of Singaporeans when they were in transition from one location to their destinations, some stopped to hear from us and gave what they could to support this year's duck race. :) Thanks to the kind hearts of these people...

I think those student helpers did a great job for the day... taking breaks at the library cafe whenever they felt tired from the long hours of talking and standing. Haha ~ But without those student voluteers, we wouldn't have reached out to a wide group of people in Bishan Central. I was in fact very impressed with some who carried out the sales with full of commitment, and getting some people from the public to support the duck race willingly from the bottom of their hearts.

Well done our student helpers. :) Thanks to those of you out there who have adopted a duck.

Tomorrow we have another outdoor promotion at Orchard Road... If you happen to go Orchard for shopping or dining...you may want to consider supporting the duck race...anyway, it's also the last time that we can support the Great Singapore Duck Race. Let this nation event be a success. ;)
