Yesterday we had first day all over the Sweden to collect money for World's Children. That also meant that our Lions club was out and holed collection boxes on hands and walked in Västra Torget in Jönköping during farmers market hours.
We had divided us to two main groups and divided hours between those 2 groups. I and some others had chosen morning pass and 2 other members took later pass. It was one of the first times it felt that farmers market had not much visitors in the morning side. I think that it could be in several reasons but probably biggest reason is that since they have started to build new houses on the parking spaces and that has made, that a lot of parking spaces has been lost and it is quite hard to find a parking space for people who comes with a car.
Day by self was at least nice and as beautiful autumn weather should be. No rain at all and that made easier to walk around market visitors.
Totally our club collected 5288 crones and I think that it was a very nice amount. Now I just hope that in next weekend we could collect same amount or why not even little bit more. All the money goes to good purpose. In facebook World's Children organization in Sweden has and still introducing 12 areas where money from this years collection is going. More information about Wold's Children organizations activities can be read in Facebook. Also in the homepage can read about what projects is on planned. There can be founded that Lions is helping people with clean water and better health.
