Earth Hour

" It is not which country you are from, it is what planet your from " Earth Hour is a significant event adopted by many different countries every year.This year is the first year Singapore is adopting the Earth Hour event. Citizens are encouraged to save electricity by switching off their lights for an hour between 8:30 to 9:30pm in the night of March 28th. Many countries like America and Australia have pitched in to help in the saving of the earth. The world famous landmarks are also taking a turn for once to save the earth. The Beijing BirdNest Stadium and the Syndey Opera House are one of the few landmarks in the world that are turning of their lights. I hope you have made the choice of switching of your lights as the organziers are aiming for 1 billion votes in the world. Each Vote is one light switch.

Business for good cause

We are very privileged to have the Resident’s Committee’s support in our social entrepreneurship business to raise funds for the underprivileged children the area. We had a few key factors to consider before thinking of the project:
1. People from the high-class might not want to donate money to the fund.
2. If the middle-class people donate money, they themselves would be short of money.
3. If this scheme will not act fast, there would be an increase in the number of underprivileged children in the area.
So, our group has tried to think of a useful project and after days of consolidation, we came up with an idea. We would leave the middle-class people out of the picture. High-class business men are our target. Firstly, we would allow them to donate willingly to the organization. After that, the money received would provide housing, food and education for the underprivileged children. When they reach 20 years old, they in turn must work for the high-class people in their business who donated the money to nurture them.

However, this agreement must be agreed by two parties and their signature is required:
1. The high-class people must donate into the organization every month with a minimum sum of $600. The person who donates more would get more employees in the end of the scheme.
2. No abuse of the underprivileged children is allowed when they come and work for you.
3. This contract can only be terminated if both parties agreed. Not doing so would result in a payment of $5000 to the other party.
