Project
Aside from the above activities, we also had various avenues of raising funds in order to fuel our
development project. This involves the development Thursday when the members were
encouraged to contribute at least 50Ksh and a mini-fundraising. These events enabled us to
purchase the Trolley Speaker complete with a microphone; Sacramentals, .e.g. candles, crucifix,
altar linen, statue of Mother Mary and a table (to serve as the altar); games, .e.g. bingo, snakes and
ladders, chess, monopoly, jenga, poker/ cards, Rubik’s cube, etc.; utensils, .e.g. cups, cutlery and
plates.
C. General Observations
o Events that combined social and charitable goals saw the highest engagement.
o Inter-SCC collaboration brought fresh energy and broadened experiences.
o While attendance was strong in most events, smaller ones like Trivia Night might
benefit from more advance publicity.
D. Recommendations
o Continue combining fun with purpose (e.g., Karaoke + Fundraiser).
o Improve documentation for attendance, especially during joint events.
o Maintain partnerships with other SCCs to expand impact and network.
o Consider involving alumni or external speakers to add variety and mentorship.
