I’m not going to lie; it took a little negotiating to get our charity packs delivered. After a month or so of patiently waiting, Bryony and I contacted Practical Action to discover that they were intended to be handed out during Welcome Meetings at our universities. I don’t attend university, so I probably would’ve been waiting a while, and Bryony hadn’t heard anything about her Welcome Meeting. Very kindly, the charity offered to send our packages directly to us. This morning, they came.
So we might have lost out on about five weeks of harassing strangers with money boxes and the like, but what we’ve been sent is sure to help us out enormously.
Our packages include:
 |
| Two money boxes |
 |
| Letters brimming with information and help |
 |
| A collection bucket |
 |
| A Practical Action T-shirt |
It was a very basic practice for Christmas, peeling the tape from the box so I could discover what the charity had sent us. I wasn’t disappointed. It all looks very professional, but I don’t know why that surprises me. People will hardly part with their change this close to Christmas if it looks anything but legitimate.
So, that’s what we’ve got. Hopefully the money boxes and collection bucket should be filled with pennies in no time. We just need to get our thoughts together and think of some events and where it would be best to collect.
Now we can start collecting!
