Recently we’ve been hearing lots of fun stories from people who support us in original and unusual ways. Here’s how some enterprising students made and sold ‘Magnotes’ to raise money for mosquito nets.
In business studies we learned how to set up and run our own small business, which we named ‘Magnotes’. We created magnetic notebooks to stick on a locker or fridge and decorated these using sequins, ribbons, beads and colourful pictures. We sold the magnotes to students in our school for $2 each and earned a pleasing profit of $117.70. All the profit is donated towards a charity of our choice.
After a lot of research we decided to donate our money to UNICEF. We discovered that UNICEF saves more young lives that any other humanitarian organisation and we find it very moving that a small amount of money earned from our enterprise can help to save the lives of so many young people.
By Sabrina Koh, Irem Sari, Sarah Koh, Lucy Maurice, Jinal Patel and Lydia Whittington, Year 10 Students from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School.
UNICEF NZ says: Thanks girls, we love the pictures of the Magnotes! Your fundraising provides over 10 mosquito nets, helping to protect 10 families from malaria. Want to find out more about UNICEF’s UNDER COVER Malaria Campaign? Just click here.
