Healthy Eating-Food Fair


On the Parents Teacher Meeting day, the science exhibition was organised and the whole of seventh grade were given the project to create an awareness about healthy eating by selling healthy snacks to all the parents, students and teachers. The responsibility was given to us by Chandrika ma'am, our Biology Teacher. We were split into groups, I was with Vaishnav and Abhilash and we decided to make 2 mocktails and a chat item. Our drinks were a Strawberry Storm and a Virgin Mojito which we slyly tagged at Rs20 and Rs25 respectively with our eyes keen on the profit. We also made spicy Bhel puri which we know would be a hit. The name of our stall was Bhel and Beverage (B&B). Vaishnav was the Bhel Puri chef, Abhilash was the Strawberry Storm and Virgin Mojito chef and I was the Cashier and the salesman(How convenient ha! ha!).


When all three of us arrived at 11:00am at the PTM with all our ingredients, spoons, plates, gloves and chefs caps we did have a slight inkling that we had spent about 1800 rupees on the ingredients and a hope(or is it greed) to make a largeprofit lurking behind our minds, we found that we were the last to arrive and others had already started making money. By the time we found a table and settled down we were tensed.(with the thoughts... there goes the profit..rather healthy eating)
Our first customer was Bharath and he took a Strawberry Storm and he said it was fantastic. We were relieved. From then, we young entrepreuners as we would like to called got more order, more green cash and plenty of ha!ha!ha!!!!! We felt excited and very proud. After everyone left, we counted the money and we earned around 3000rupees! So our hard work paid off and we earned the most money out of all the groups! We made 2200rupees profit of which 50% will go to a charity organisation and the rest you guessed it right----will be split into three! So over all it was a great idea and an amazing experience.
