The UN Women is an organization that aims to help the women and young girls in Singapore who are at risk of violence and abuse. This event aims to collect pre-loved items from willing donors, sell them at another event to raise funds to help these women and girls.

Pre-Event
Before the actual event, a lot of planning had to be done. We had to plan for the floor plan and the duty roster. We were also involved in the designing of the backdrop for the event. We also went down to the Hilton hotel for a briefing of the event.
Event
During the event we were separated into 2 shifts consisting of 4 people each. There were 2 roles for each shift, the front-line and the back-end.

The front-line staff was in charge of the collection of the donors’ particulars and moving the donated items to the storage room.
