Day for Change is a special day organised by Unicef where schools can raise money to help provide life-saving food and care for malnourished children. non-uniform day sports competition bake sale class quiz picnic By taking part in Day for Change we can learn about nutrition and help malnourished children grow up healthy and strong. The challenge is to get our school to collect as much loose change as possible by hosting any kind of fundraising activity, such as a ‘wear it blue’ day, a bake sale or a bring-a-pound day. The spare change we raise will change children’s lives. Ask the class for ideas of how they could raise money at home and at school. Suggestions can include: Asking friends and family to sponsor you for a personal challenge, such as a sponsored silence, giving up sweets and chocolate for a week or going without TV or the Internet for a week. Asking friends and family to sponsor a sporting feat, such as a danceathon, sponsored walk or football penalty shoot-out competition. Organise a school or class event, such as a bake sale, school disco or fun ‘wear it blue’ day. Photos © Unicef/Fields
