Tips for holding a Flee market
1. It has to be under 5000 won.
2. Do not try to sell old clothes.
Every month, we’re going to send 50000 won~ 100000 won to Copion.
We will start sending the money starting in December. We will start by donating money for school supplies in Cambodia. We agreed that the donation money’s use will change every four months. For example, on the first donation; we will donate money to buy school supplies, on the second donation; we will donate money to buy stationary… and so on.
TGCP’s Bank Account
We were going to decide on the bank account number and the password, but John had a good idea. Because some of our parents have a lot of money in their bank account, we are going to use our parents’ bank account to save the TGCP money, to get more interest(이자).
Becoming Globalized
Countries that we will branch out: U.S, Spain, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Israel
Countries that we already branched out to: Canada, Singapore, and England
Campaigns
“Happy Race for Students in Cambodia”
- We are going to hold a “three legged race”
- People such as our friends and family will bet money on how far we will be able to run. The maximum amount of money is 1000 won, because we do not want to put any burden on them by requiring so much money.
- We agreed that we will get together and hold the race at the same place: Seoul
“STICKER Campaign”
- Gloria is capable of making and designing stickers. She will design stickers that have the TGCP and the Evergreen logo on it. One sticker will be sold for 50 won.
“Naver Happybean”
- In the Korean portal site called “Naver”, there’s a donation program called “Happybean.”
A certain corporation would sponsor the happybeans. The happy beans are equal to money, and one happybean is equal to 100 won. We are thinking of asking Samsung to sponsor Happybeans for TGCP.
“Bridge”
- We are thinking of asking broadcasting companies or corporations to donate money to TGCP. The reason that we think that this will be successful is that because we are thirteen and this is special. Our name, “The Global Children” allows people to know that we don’t only work in Korea, but all over the world.
Election
President: Margaret
Vice president: John
Chun Cheon’s president: Iris
Chun Cheon’s vice president: Sydney
Seoul’s president: Toby
Eco Campaign
- Toby and John would hand out the paper to the class presidents at their schools.
Registering as a legal organization
1. It needs 100 members
2. Every year, we have to prove that we did something worthy.
(However, registering as a youth organization and registering as a regular organization is a little different, so we’re still looking into it.)
- I would also like to say special thanks to Mr. H for being with us, and coming all the from Yong-in to help us run the meeting.
