Fundraising...

So I finally have found something to do down here, that also generates income. It involves meeting people in the streets to raise funds for UNICEF. So I will be one of those people that I often try to avoid, walking down the streets, go figure...

I have a somewhat ambivalent feeling towards this, cause I know how annoying people like that can be. They give you a bad conscience because you really have the money to help. Still you might feel somewhat resistant committing to it, because you are either cheap, don't trust that your money will reach those children (or whatever), or you feel you help enough already? Whatever your reason, thefundraisingpeople (this is actually the name of my employer) are probably not on your "love" list.

On the other hand, this is actually one of the better causes to raise funds for. UNICEF does so much good around the world, and therefore I have faith in what I'll be "selling". This type of work will also force me to be more outgoing, which I have been working towards since late primary school. So I guess this might actually turn out to be a good thing, at least I hope so:P
