We are dedicated to providing our students with not only academic excellence but also practical life skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. With this in mind, we have developed a unique initiative centered around candle-making, aimed at teaching our students valuable livelihood skills while fostering socialization and entrepreneurship.
Through this project, students will engage in hands-on activities to create a variety of candles using safe and sustainable materials.
These candles will not only serve as learning tools but also as marketable products that can be sold at our school store. By participating in every step of the process, from designing to crafting and marketing, our students will gain invaluable insights into entrepreneurship, teamwork, and customer interaction.
Here are some key benefits of supporting this project:
Practical Skills Development: By learning the art of candle-making, students will acquire practical skills that can be applied in various contexts, fostering creativity and innovation.
Entrepreneurial Mindset: Through selling their candles at the school store, students will develop an entrepreneurial mindset, learning about pricing, marketing, and customer service firsthand.
Socialization Opportunities: Working together on a hands-on project like candle-making encourages teamwork, communication, and collaboration among students, promoting socialization and bonding.
Sustainability Awareness: We prioritize using environmentally friendly materials in our candle-making process, instilling in students a sense of responsibility towards sustainable practices.
To fully realize the potential of this project, we are seeking your support to provide funding for essential candle-making materials, including wax, wicks, molds, and fragrance oils. Your contribution will directly impact the lives of our students, empowering them with skills that will benefit them now and in the future.
