New Year's Fundraising

It’s not quite caroling, and it’s not quite serenading. The youth wrote the script themselves and each of us took about four lines from the poem. We marched around town and relayed our messages of good will to the institutions and businesses in our community. The poem also told a little bit about what the youth council is and what they do before asking for donations to support the youth in 2010. Here, the youth are shown with the mayor and vice mayor of our town. Along with their monetary donation, the mayor's office gave us candy, cookies, and the traditional bread too. We visited almost all the public institutions in our town, as well as many shops and private institutions. Despite the economic crisis, this year the youth raised more than ever through this activity.
