Yellow Ribbon
Yellow Ribbon
Voluntered to sell flags for the Yellow Ribbon Projects. Yes, me can't believe it meself too, but sell we did. We as in me, Lena and Mikail. Never in my life had I faced so many rejections in one morning. Of cos, there are people who would actually approach us and put in their loose change into the Tin Can we were holding out (something like begging, if you asked me) but there were many more who either donated because they had no way out when accosted by this terrible trio with their begging machine, or donated with such a pain written all over their face for having to depart with their hard-earned coins. Then there are also those who would just ignore us, like as if we are truly invisible.
Occasionally I just offered them the stickers even though they replied that they do not have any small change (do we actually need small change to donate? We do not donate "BIG CHANGE", do we?). There was one lady who apologised and told me that she had no coins to donate, but I still gave her the sticker and told her, "Its okay Ma'am, just take the sticker, its the thought that counts".
I realised also that I can't possibly returned an empty Donation Tin Can to the administrator and tell them its full of good thoughts and well wishes.
Sigh.
