Final Reflection - ISSEA Activity Volunteering (Service)

After having volunteered for the Fringe Festival ushering, Artsco had asked me to do facepainting during the Saturday of the ISSEA tournament week. I have take various Art classes in the past, so I felt confident to be able to do facepaint considering that I have never done it before. We attended the stand the entire afternoon but to our surprise, few people wanted to be painted during the day of the ISSEA finals. This proved to be a difficulty as we only made 300/=. I thought the activity was a good idea as no one could have known that it wouldve have been unpopular. We considered that the problem may have been that there was a lack of advertising as many may not have been aware of our stand. We therefore made an attempt to advertise by making banners and telling people to spread the word. Nevertheless, no new customers arrived.
