Blog 22- The Supply and Date Auction

SBU Supply and Date Auction


Photo creds to Chloe Kim


Supply is an organization in which strives to activate urban slum youth through education. The supply uses donated money to provide scholarship in schools in Nairobi, Kenya. The reason why we do this project is that 70% of Nairobi’s urban population lives in slums and they are not eating right and living in dangerous environment. Young kids in these areas are getting little education or not getting education. However, hope for people in slums is only could be achieved by education, and we, the Supply, could have them better education and enhance their quality of life.
As a member of Stony Brook University Supply Chapter, I went to SBU Supply’s event today. We had planned a date auction for our upcoming World Slum Day. Basically, people voluntarily chose to be auctioning and write three facts about themselves. When the auctioneer called up their name, then they came out and introduced three facts about themselves. They were sold when someone wanted him or her for the date. Sometimes, two or three people competed to get hot date mates.

Although I didn’t participate in the date auction, I had lots of fun there. I think the date auction is a good way of gathering people and donating money for college males and females since they can donate money while enjoying themselves.
