Audience resolution a) Advocacy Our advocacy campaign was to inform not only students and professors but everyone to be aware of todays children welfare.Nowadays, around everybody is aware of the poverty of our country is experiencing and one major problem is the lack support of the society to the children on the streets. Our Advocacy targe ts to influence everyone to be aware of what is going on to these children. Implementing our campaign, we expound the knowledge of our audience of what our advocacy really means and how they could help. The audience responded in a manner that we did not expect. They have been aware of todays children in our society and as part of their response, learned that this could help the welfare they did not quaver to support every event we shared.They let our campaign sink in not only in their minds but also with their heart to show their care for these children. No doubt that our campaign achieved not only its proposed objectives but we also hit the wagon of every audience who cares for the children. b) Culminating Activity The title of our culminating activity is High-Five For A Cause. throng wondered what we meant by that, even the audio visual presentation is not enough for them. payable to our creative way of dragging their attention, they started to get curious on our stallingso they went to our area and checked things out.As we pardoned things to them, we received different types of expression for some it is just a use up of time and money, but for others they comprehended our concern to the orphan. Now, P20 is not much of a pain in the pocket that is why all we have to do is pull in them without too much effort. In addition to this, once they already put their hand samara on the wall they received a button pin meaning that they supported our campaign. Because of this, registration fee was actually a good deal for those who participated. nearly of the reactions we got are either a ready to participate question or eager to get out of that place.As we execute our activity, we observed that people who have seen our campaign is just a waste of money and time for some, like what we have mentioned in the beginning. Moreover, some think that putting paint in their hands is a kick up on their part, thinking maybe the paint we use is hard to get rid off. Ho wever, for those who were interested, we observed that as they put their handpaintings on the wall it is more likely a fun thing to do for them lettered that something was unique and it was for a cause. B. Budget employ Disbursement of coin for Christmas Party Funds from SponsorshipsFunds from Fund Raising Activities CHAPTER NINE RECOMMENDATIONS For our fund raising Film Showing we could have prepared more chips and more movies to watch. First, the information was not disseminated properly. It was two days before the showing when the group has announced the activity. So thats why, the group didnt slip by their target number of viewers, and that, the participants were so little. They should have posted the print ads ahead of time so that participants were able to be aware of it. There had been a technical problem with the movieit was skipping a scene so they had to change the movie.But good thing, the audience s work liked the movie and still watched it till the end. The group co uld have chosen a bigger space like the auditorium but unfortunately they could not afford it. So we decided to hold our event in room 415 which was convenient to other students who have classes so they can easily go to our event after their class. But the group was happy that there are more people who participated and enjoyed their event. Lastly, the train showing could have been a triumph if the time was extended. Most of the people who bought tickets have classes from 1245-230.It could have been better if the group extended the film up to 5pm. The advocacy campaign, Hi-Five for a Cause. which was held at the APC cafeteria was a success. You could see that every student who would pass by the booth would notice andsupport the culminating activity. Although, we recommend that the culminating activity should have been widely spread and advertise more so that more people would be able to support. The event lacked noises to advertise the activity. The group could have put up big adv ertisements like posters and give away fliers earlier.Some of the supporters were not really aware on what they are doing and some of the group members cant explain them thoroughly because of more people coming to their booth but Helping Juans gave them fliers which tell what the advocacy campaign all about. But overall, the culminating activity that we organized was a success for us.
