The Half Day off school - by Tomas

The Half Day Off School-

It started in the morning, straight after the school break time. Emily and I greeted everyone who came in and we introduced them to the raffle. Most people bought one or more tickets. In the end we sold 98 tickets; each costing 10 dirhams. In total we made 980 dirhams which will all go to the Philippine embassy who have made a charity for mistreated maids. A lot of parents from Kings were there and a lot of them were my mums friends.

I felt very happy as we achieved our goal which was to pass 700 dirhams. I also felt very proud because we had raised all that money for a charity.

Even though we missed all that school I learned a lot about how to invite people to your stand.
