It is slightly less than 2 months until the Pandamonium. This event marks the end of a years worth of raising funds and awareness for the charities the Benevolent Foundation provides for. It allows people from the school and the community to put a face to the charities and really get to know more about them, first hand.
To be honest, in previous years I have not taken advantage of this and spoke with the representatives. I could say it is because I was too focused on staying awake after being at the kwoon since midnight, but that is no excuse. I made the choice not to and I am making the choice to do so this year.
The representatives come out for a very important reason. I feel there would be a great benefit from listening to what the charities are about right from the source. Face to face communication can go a long way. You can hear their stories, their perspective, why they feel so strongly about what they are supporting, see the passion in their eyes and body language. You can't get that from a book and you can't get that from a website.
This is one aspect of my goal to improve my communication. The more that you look into a subject, the more you learn. The more you know, the easier it is for you to spread the word with purpose, instead of just regurgitating what someone else told you word for word without any meaning or context behind it.
I am excited to mindfully meet representatives of our charities and get a more enriched understanding of what they are about.
