Charity Event (Gerald Estate)
Charities
play a vital role in helping people in needy because of different reasons,
either of emergency, sudden illness or loss of parents. The hospitality class identified one child at
Gerald Estate who is an orphan, and raised funds to help the needy child. Money
and clothing’s were raised and were donated to the child. Participation in
community events has become a part of modern life, both in rural and urban
settings says (Bleijie, 2013). The hospitality students found it fit for them
to take part by organize such event in the community they live in. The event
took place at the child’s yard.
Consultation with key stakeholders
According
to Bleijie, (2013) it very essential to communicate with key stakeholders when
develop and plan such events. The key stakeholders of that charity event were
social workers, Gerald chief, police and the community. Stakeholders were
consulted to discuss on issues pertaining the services, venue and food and beverages
for the event. The communiqué for the event was successful because everyone who
was invited showed up at the event. Bodwin et al, (2012)
describe event communication as delivering of information’s to the public and
provision information to event staff and the efficient operational system of
the event. The invited guests were prepared for this event, as the chief had
his motivational speech printed well in advance.
