Last Sunday we went to the Home of Peace to help out with their fund-raising food fair. The Home of Peace is an old folks home at 10th mile, and is one of dad's pet projects.
Anyways, they held a food fair to raise funds for the home. So the whole gang woke up early to go set up shop! We ran some games stalls in the home's activity room. It was a very pleasant venue, with ample space and plenty of fans. Compared to the last food fair, where Sis No.3 and I sold cupcakes at St. Joseph's school canteen, this was way more relaxed and fun.
We had gathered lots of second hand soft toys, some new, from our own homes and also from friends. These were used at prizes, along with some canned food and drinks and packets of biscuits.
The games included ring toss; tossing rings onto bottles of drinks or cans of food. There was the ping pong ball toss; where you tossed a ping pong balls onto egg cartons, and the colour of the hole it landed in determined your prize. Then there was the milk can ball toss, where you tried to throw balls into pails and milk cans. We also had a lucky draw. RM1 for an entry and you could win hampers!
All the kids helped out. The big ones worked especially hard and we managed to raise over RM850! The kids had fun, though they did reclaim some of their old toys after having second thoughts about donating them! Lol!
