St Barnabas Flag Day

April 9th, 2011 I went to Central in HongKong to help collect money for the St Barnabas Sociey for the homeless people.
At first i thought it would be strange to ask strangers for money and that it was rude because i had always seen people ask me and at times when i was in a rush or when i had no change i would ignore them.
So as Mrs Lee gave us out our little bags and was explaining how to ask people for money, i  became very nervous! i thought that i wouldnt be able to ask anyone because my cantonese isnt that good.

Success! Here is me asking a lady to buy a flag!

All the students who volunteered to help out that day.


I learned that it is actaully pretty easy to ask strangers to buy a flag. I also learned how important it was for us to smile when asking for a flag, sometimes just a smile can brighten up the strangers day. (:
