this post has been delayed for a few weeks. hehe..
anyway..
29th Jan.
YMCA Sleep Easy Event.
what is it?
well, it's a charity event where people raise money by spending the night outside n sleeping in cardboard boxes like homeless people.
about 30 people signed up to camp out like a homeless person.
and it is NOT easy, ok.... it was freezing that night! =S
really admired those brave people who slept out in the cold that night.
it was -1 degrees!!
brrrrr....
and no...i did not sleep out like a homeless person. haha..
my university went to volunteer at the event...
so a group of about 12 of us went to help out with the games, n giving out drinks, n also to judge the best cardboard house.
anyway, us volunteers were there from 9 till midnight...
organizing games, making hot chocolate, etc.
then thank goodness, we were driven back to uni! >.<
oh... and the Mayor of Hatfield came to the event too.. to give out prizes n stuff. hehe..
so our university students managed to take a pic with him! =)
overall an awesome experience.
and made me so thankful n grateful to have a house n warm room to sleep in everynight.
never take things forgranted.
your bed.....
your clothes..
the food you eat......
cuz many people living on the streets only have a cardboard box to sleep in.
