The Greeting Service

The beginning of December corresponds to arrival of Christmas, and that means celebration, gifts, sweets, and season’s greetings. Although the technological advancement, more precisely the advent of e-mails and e-shopping have influenced almost all of it, it still feels adorable to celebrate festivals their traditional way. Combining this thought with CAS we along with our coordinator Mrs. Vijayalaxmi came up with the idea of undertaking a task which Archies© Gallery™ has been doing for years – making greeting cards!

So today we had the first meeting in which we discussed this idea and our aim. We decided that we will make 10 cards each and over 100 cards in total and then sell them to raise fund for the underprivileged. A couple of months ago, when we sold candles we could raise as much as `3,000 approximately. This time we indented to increase this amount even further. Since this activity was service as well as creativity we reckoned it would consume 10 hours in total; this would include 8 hours of card making and 2 hours of selling them. The Christmas celebration was destined on 19^th so indubitably 18^th was our deadline.

I thought very highly of this entire notion because by doing this we weren’t just helping those who have their lives eclipsed by penury but also enhancing the lives which are polluted by mundane work. Spreading joy and love along with the season’s greetings is no less than serving humanity.

But the first thing we had to do now was to arrange the material required for making cards and get started.
