This thread's got nothing to do with Lisa, but I need your help.

I work as a teacher. My school is located in a bad neighborhood and the kids can't really play anywhere. No playgrounds at all. So we need money to do something about it. We do have a plan and some great ideas, but no money.

I love those kids, I work with them and their moms since 1991 and I could sure use some ideas about how to get sponsors/money..

Lisa asked me :"Was it worth it?"

My husband asked me:"What's your next dream?"

I love them both, but I don't have any dreams left now.. cause it was so worth it,just dreams for my kids..






So now that you have made a mess off me
And show me stars that I have never seen
I know it's wrong why does it feel so right
You haven’t got me yet but you might

Well one suggestion I have is this:
I've noticed here that at the grocery store at checkout they will ask you if you sponsor a school and if so which one. The store will donate so much per sale per person signed up as a sponsor. This may not raise money quickly and I'm not sure how you might set something like that up, but you will end up with alot of money raised in the end. I think here they do it all through the school year and stop during the summer. Don't know if this helps any but other than the usual school fund raising stuff that's all I got for you right now.

The Church's here donate money to the schools sometimes when they have like a Fish dinner or they sell pastries or whatever....
The older women at the church cook up alot of food and desserts, and all the donation goes towards the kids....
good luck Dutch Smiler

Our schools raise moeny through ...bake sales,or sponsored runs, or sponsored walks..people who run or walk,get people to sponsor them, and say..pay them so much money per mile they walk/run,and the money goes to the project.
You could also start a newsletter about the project, asking for donations from whomever it's sent to, AND having businesses sponsor by having an ad placed in the newsletter.They buy space in it to advertise their business.

Thanks guys, for your ideas..

I did some research today and there are some organisations in Holland that give money for things like this, we can try that, but I don't know if that'll work, cause they ask some things back, like opening up the playground, also in the weekends and that'll be difficult, cause we need people to watch the kids.

Thanks Majik.

Yes we will try the church too. But it's a bit weird, we have a catholic school and the kids ( 80% of them) are muslims, so..I don't know if that'll work..
