TARGETED APPEARANCE
People who attended the visit were 30 members. Some of the members it was their first time to come to the visit and others had been visiting the homes with Dreams Campaign.
CHALLENGES FACED
We reached the home a bit late because everyone had not yet arrived so it took quite some time waiting for everyone.
Dreams Campaign could not get everything from the list of the things that the home needed but lacked since most of its members are in college.
Dreams Campaign members were informed of the visit quite late making the turnout low as to what had been estimated.
Lack of funds that could to enable Dreams Campaign partner with the home.
LESSONS LEARNT
Departure time to an event should be given ample time for waiting for people to arrive to avoid being late.
The larger the number of people the easier the work.
