FUNDRAISING
Selling
CBSE-i Handicrafts
The ‘School Enterprise Challenge’, an
initiative of UK based NGO ‘Teach a Man to Fish’ organization is an excellent
platform to enhance entrepreneurial skills of the students.
On September 17, 2016 during the PTM of Montessori to
grade 2 students of CBSE-i (International Curriculum) we sold handicraft items
made by the students of these classes to parents and teachers. A mélange of eye catching handicrafts
prepared by the students during their Visual Art periods from recycled and
waste material lying in the school and at home were displayed for sale. The business team comprising of grade 11 and
12 students along with students of CBSE-ijunior classes were involved in
selling of these products, bringing their communication skills, convincing
power and sales strategies to fore.
The
products made by various classes were:
Neck Pieces – Grade 2
X Ray Sheet Decoration – Grade 3
Photo Frame – Grade 1
Cloth Bags – Grade 7
Brush Pencil Holder – Grade 4
Crayon Stand – Grade 4
Envelopes – Grade 5
Key Chains – Grade 6
Ear Rings - Grade 2
Bangles – Grade 6
We got first hand
exposure of running a business enterprise independently and how to deal with
different kinds of customers. Till now
we were just gaining theoretical knowledge but now we are learning the
practical experience of what a business actually is! We would continue to
expand our business and I would like to appreciate the efforts made by our
school for giving us this exposure.
