Artifact #5

CASnival is a Carnival themed service activity organized by my high school, it was a one day event aimed at commercializing fun, food and events to help the homeless people in the city.

A group of three and I organized a bake sale, by selling home made: cookies, pastries, cakes, donuts at affordable prices. The entire event lasted for about 10 hours and it was a hectic day for all of us, since there were a lot customers rushing to our stall. At that point it was important for us to manage the customers, serve them their orders, record the money earned, calculate the profits, keep all the food organized, manage time, maintain coordination and team spirit. It was definitely a great experience as it strengthened many of my skills and made me more insightful about profit and loss.

Although the experience was tiresome, we were glad that at the end of the day, our hard work paid off, we made a huge profit, which had a major contribution to the overall amount earned from the entire event.
