[F]uS!o[N]o![Z]e

[F]uS!o[N]o![Z]eHi to all! As fundraising officers, BK and i hope to recieve any of your suggestions to help us plan for the fundraising job. Before that, I would like to clarify what we want to be and will be doing for the trip. If there is any disagreement, please feel free to post your replies.
Aim: Raise a sum of money to make an impact on the community for NYAA requirements
Suggestion:
1) Raise funds to purchase handmade merchandise from villagers to sell in Singapore as a form of post-trip activity to get further funding to be sent back to villagers.
-Money brings about revenue for village tourism trade by buying and giving them the profit.
-Aim can be achieved when people buy local products and find out more about origin.
-However, a lot of connections and trust is needed to make this possible.
2) Raise funds to buy paint or other building material to help improve village infrastructure by doing manual work ourselves.
-Help villagers improve standards of living by leaving behind our mark.
-Villagers might not want newly-painted houses and would want to stick to customary housing.
-Lack of expertise and skill on our side lowers our credibility as helpers
3) Raise funds to pay for expenses incurred in the making of documentary or case study. (eg. Publicity, Services of others)
-Aim is kept as priority in this scenario, where we present the target audience with what we want to tell them about the situation in the village.
-Again, the result might be of substandard level due to a lack of expertise, which may not be accepted by others.
