Our car wash fundraising event was a very effective way to reach out to many NUS staff and Alumni for donations for our cause. It was a full day event where everyone was allocated shifts to wash cars. It was heartwarming to see countless members of public and NUS personnel willingly offer small donations even if they did not require any cleaning of their vehicles.
This event was also a very good way to help us work in smaller groups with one another as we were teamed up in pairs to meet the constant flow of car wash requests. Regardless of the overbearing heat during the midday sun, we worked tirelessly to clean the cars to the best of our abilities. Working with the other OCIP members individually gave me a opportunity to get to know them personally and I am sure every other pair felt the same way.
By strengthening the bonds between us as individuals, I believe we become stronger as a whole unit. After all, we are only as strong as the weakest link. The car wash also helped many quieter individuals in the group to feel more comfortable and open up to the rest of the group. This allowed me to get to understand them and forge better friendships with them as an individual.
