I found out Zac and Vienna had been doing a favour for me secretly in the past week.
I saw they were very busy at making origami during their exam period and I wondered what they were for.
They made heaps…heaps of shirts. Vienna made the shirts with different collars and she even put a paper tie on some of them. The shirts Zac made were soccer shirts (he copied the logos and words from his Match Attack cards). His cool idea came from the World Cup season (great approach Zac – in a marketing sense!).
Vienna said “we are going to sell these shirts to our classmates”
I “what? I don’t think anyone will buy them.”
Vienna “yes, someone in my class said he will pay $1 for the shirt”
I “Huh ?! I think it is not nice to do that, this paper shirt isn’t worth $1″
Zac “mum, we want to sell these to support your trip to Japan”
I “Wow…thank you so much for both of you, it is very nice of doing this for me, but I still think it isn’t that nice to get your friends’ money in this way.”
Vienna “But he said he wanted to buy the shirt!”
** Anyway, so far I haven’t received any “support” from Zac or Vienna from selling the shirts, but I was impressed by their idea and efforts. **
Vienna told me today that she forgot to bring the shirts to school and her friends forgot to bring the money either…hahahaha…
Of course I am not expecting to get any money from kids but I treasure their hearts for me.
