Skills for Life Students Raise Money For Charity
in
News date:
19/02/2010
Skills for Life students at our Verdin Campus recently created their own business enterprise, using chocolate to help raise money for charity.
“We wanted to raise money for the college charity ASAP (African Support & Assistance Project),” explained student Walter Ware. “So we asked friends and family who had children to design a chocolate bar wrapper.”
The children’s designs were then sent on to the personalisation company Chocolate Chatter, who printed the designs on to real chocolate bar wrappers which are then placed onto chocolate bars.
The children's initial designs and the final products
The bars, which also had the child designer’s name on the back were sold for £3.50 each. Through this exercise the students managed to make £100 profit, which will be given to the ASAP charity, which raises funds to build classrooms for a school in Lesotho with no facilities.
