The youths in Direct Hope also directly benefit from participating in this fundraising activity. They learn new soft skills such as communication, teamwork and salesmanship. Interacting with members of the public and communicating with strangers also help to build up the self confidence of many of these youths. Additionally, besides giving them an interesting experience to occupy their time, activities like these also help to ingrain a sense of social and community responsibility to these youths and leave them with a sense of the positive impact that anyone (including them) can have on the world.
