Fund raised down by 30%

I have noticed many student volunteers raising funds for voluntary
welfare organisations(VWOs) do not know enough of the organisation to
answer simple questions posed to them during flag days.
I have encountered many that knows only the name of the organisation,
and practically nothing else.

The public are now more wary of charities and will naturally want to
find out where their money are being channelled and to what causes.
Most will be asking what percentage of the donation goes to the
people.

If the volunteers cannot answer these questions satisfactory, the
public will be reluctant to contribute and may even lose confident in
the organisation.

So I think it is important for VWOs to educate their fund raising
volunteers to answer the questions that the public may pose. It is
also the responsibility of the volunteers to familiars themselves with
the working of the organisation, in order to present the proper image
of the organisation to the public.
