One of the moments I remembered during the meeting of IN-FEST couple of weeks ago was - Are we going to charge entrance fee for the festival? and the result from the team is "NO", it's free for all. I was surprised that all the team members, as volunteers themselves, have the same consensus about "giving" rather than "taking" it first. With that decision itself left us a very tough road towards in the fundraising part.
Soon after that discussion, everyone on the table starts pulling out money from their pockets and put on the centre of the table. It's not a large sum of money but that particular moment we knew no matter what happen THE FESTIVAL WILL GO ON!
As you can see today, we do not have any big sponsors from commercial businesses or financial help from government. Most of the funds we have now are through donation from the community in the UNESCO heritage area. These donations are given whole-heartily without expecting anything in return. Therefore as a representative of team IN-FEST I would like say thank you very very much from the bottom of our heart.
Beside that, we have setup a donation box at The Baboon House & Voyage Traveller's Lounge. For those who wish to contribute any form of donation, kindly do so at this venue.
Thank you and see you at the festival !
