Starting 4th April, the
children of Oakridge were in for a surprise. They had their very own lemonade
stand set up by students of Grade 2 as a charity event for their season finale
of Creativity, Action, Service (CAS). The proceeds of this sale are to go to an
orphanage in need.
Starting 3rd April, the
children prepared innumerable posters, comic strips, and fliers to advertise
the sale. The excitement just kept
building up. Confidently, they walked up to the classes of Grade 6, speaking
and informing students about the charity event, which was met with much
adoration and a readiness to assist.
Can the parents ever be far behind? Well,
not in Oakridge. Packets of Tang, Ice Tea and Glasses kept pouring into the
classes. Each day saw two sections set up. The lemonade stands held 3 cool
drinks — Orange Tang, Lemon Tang, and Ice Tea — You couldn’t resist a glass or
two!! Children were well prepared way in advance for their respective departments
like Finance, Marketing & Sales, and Hospitality.
As voiced by Avik Pamarthi and Tanish
Sabavat, “This activity taught us how companies and brands work in the real
market and how teamwork and togetherness drizzled with empathetic action can
solve so many of our problems.”
This sale continued until April 9th. Way
to go, kids!!
I know Avik Pamarthi. Five years later, he says "breh" a lot and plays Fortnite.
