Dear Sir/ Mdm,

We are a group of Business Undergraduate students from the Singapore Management University, and are currently working on a Project titled "WHYtheboard" as part of our Leadership & Team Building module. Our group recognizes Capital Land's contribution in aiding budding entrepreneurs in setting up their own businesses by offering them a more affordable option via pushcarts.

As part of our project, we are collaborating with Andrew and Grace's Home to set up an Entrepreneurship Corner,to aid the girl's in integrating succesfully back into the society, by doing their own business. Being business students, we will also be sharing with them some basic Inventory, book keeping, marketing and advertising strategies that they will need to set up their own businesses in future.

As a beginning, we are looking at starting off their small businesses in the form of pushcarts, which will be placed in their premises, to sell some of their hand made products in this pushcarts during events held in the home. These pushcarts will serve as an effective avenue for the girls as a stepping stone to start off their business. The entrepreneurship experience picked up from this project will be with them for a lifetime and it is then hoped that through this project, the girls will learn to be self sufficient in future. At the end of it all,our team aims to aid these teens to integrate succesfully back into the society as a long term goal.

Our group sincerely hopes that your organization will consider donating 2-3 old pushcarts in enabling this project to be a success.

Do not hesitate to contact me at puayyee.2006@business.smu.edu.sg or at 98340200.

We sincerely hope to hear from you soon.

cheers,

For and behalf of the group,
