The International Christmas Charity Bazaar

By: Udani

Emerge Office Assistant

This is the first time I participated at the International Christmas Charity Bazaar sale held at the Hilton Residencies on December 2, 2012. It was a wonderful sale where there were stalls from countries all over the world, from clothes to food items to wines to Christmas decor and all proceeds were given to charity.

I was so glad that Emerge Lanka Foundation had a stall and that I was able to talk to a few people about the work we do and sell some jewelry; this is the time I wished I was more fluent in English, so that I could have persuaded more people to buy jewelry! However, I was so glad I was able to participate and to be of help to our organization.

I am also grateful and thankful for the Emerge Lanka Foundation for their immense support and for enabling me to start classes in spoken English in the near future.
