Giving back to Gerald Estates Community

Donations

Wikipedia (2015) has defined a donation as a way of giving back to the needy it could be used or new goods, money or food.

Spiegelmen(2014) has acknowledged that giving back to the community is in three ways namely: financial, in- kind or  for  offering your services freely. An event of giving back to (Clarke and Chen,2007) Gerald estates community took place in order to help a young school going girl.   The event made use of money donations in which papers were circulating around school asking for money donations and boxes for clothes. The client was also given new clothes bought from donations. The learner participated in getting money donations.

Further work by Spieglmen(2014) has emphasized that when doing money donations the receipts should be kept and presented to the donors to see how much was spent. There must be a record of collected monies (Harbaugh, 1998). The leader of the event managed to give back feedback to the hospitality students though not all donors got to hear on how their donations were used.

The whole outcome was achieved much emphasis should be on giving all the concerned donors feedback on how the donations were spent.
