A charity bazaar for an animal rights NGO

Read
A line from Montaigne stayed with Mark: “Our eyes are bigger than our bellies.” We see problems easily, but acting on them is much harder.
Sit with it
He kept returning to the gap between seeing a problem and acting on it. His problem was factory farming, and he wanted to start with his friends.
Act
He organized a charity bazaar with about 17 friends on a square in Sofia for six hours, selling jewelry, paintings and secondhand clothes for the NGO CAAI, which fights for animal rights in farming. They raised 277 euros.
It exposed me to organising such an event and working with people towards it.
