Individual Reflection
Creating my booth under the concept "Every Life Deserves Love" was a heartfelt experience. I wanted my butter cookies and cat-shaped ceramic plates to raise awareness for rescued animals, but turning that idea into reality came with challenges. From designing meaningful packaging to working within a limited budget, I had to get creative using eco-friendly materials and adding QR codes that tell real rescue stories. It was hard, but when seeing the products and the message, it reminded me why I started to show that every life, no matter how small, deserves love and care.
Creating my booth for Every Life Deserves Love under the PAWS NGO concept has been a meaningful and challenging journey. I started with a passion for animal welfare and a simple idea like selling butter cookies and cat-shaped ceramic plates to raise awareness and support rescue efforts.
One of the first problems I faced was choosing products that students would connect with emotionally. It took time to balance cuteness with purpose; animal-shaped cookies and ceramic plates helped convey both. Another challenge was organizing the booth on a tight budget. I solved this by repurposing materials, designing handmade decorations, and getting help from my group.
I also struggled with packaging that matched the concept. After experimenting, I chose eco-friendly boxes and added QR codes linking to real rescue stories, which made the message more powerful. During the event, I noticed students were curious but hesitant so I used storytelling and visuals to make the products feel personal and impactful.
This project taught me that small creative ideas can spark big emotions and real awareness. I’m proud that my booth didn’t just sell snacks and plates it spread love to every life that deserves it.
