o Impacts of Social Entrepreneur ( S ]Taken from http://www.bathchronicle.co.uk/Group-s-initiative-begins-effort-end-poverty/story-11326186-detail/story.html BAP & PAP worked together and started a so called “competition”, it was indeed a competition to raise money, but the money raised will be used for people who needs it. E.g people who live in poverty. Doing so helps people to change their mindsets and causes one another to influence each other to donate more. Donating more will also be supporting the business in a way and the business would be using the profits made to help the people who needs it, therefore by donating and having a mindset of making the business better would also indirectly be helping the people in need.

What can we do to contribute? Share a meal donation.It was organised by our school to donate some of our pocket money no matter how small to help people suffering from hunger. BB share a gift Organised by the Boys’ Brigade in Singapore, from November to December. this activity strives to help the less fortunate by packing together the food donated by the public and a form of ‘Christmas’ present to them. These packages are then delivered to them.
