Service - WOŚP

A couple days ago I was collecting money for Polish charity called "Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy". This charity is collecting during whole year but once a year there is a final of this action. It was 25th time this final took place. WOŚP and its volunteers are collecting for sick children and old people all around the world.
This year I decided that I want to be a part of this venture AGAIN. So I joined it!
Me and a couple of my friends cut out heart shaped WOŚP stickers, grabbed our cans, IDs and went downtown. We were roaming around for about 4 hours, but the whole action disappointed me a little bit. I felt that my friends aren't really interested in helping. Moreover, people weren't as likely to donate money as they were last year (at least in my opinion) which really demotivated me. However, I decided to stay positive and remember about all those people I'm trying to help.
All in all I collected 263,33 PLN and I'm quite proud about it, despite the fact it's less than I collected in 2016.
It was great to become a part of something bigger and help somebody. I hope money I've collected will help someone in the future because that's the one and only reason why I decided to join this event. I've also learned something really important about myself - I'm more motivated when I work with people who are supportive and they cuddle up to work. But I'm also strong enough to overcome the lack of motivation anb become some kind of a leader who motivates the rest.
