Violence Against Women Event


So, I recently held my event at the Griffith University Village, it went amazingly well! I originally only about 8 quilt squares and was not sure if I would even get that amount of people to turn up with such short notice and so close to the exam period. The day of the event I spoke to several people who said they were coming, and I ran out and got 4 more quilt squares and more supplies. So many people turned up, the cup cakes worked out really well, I had some help making them and bringing them to the event at different stages, but I was incredibly please at how well the entire event went. About 30 people came and more boys than I was expecting considering that quilts are not exactly a manly thing. Many people just came to hang out and be part of the atmosphere. By the end of the event, I was thanking people for coming and they were thanking me back saying how much fun they had, that was really nice. I also had one of my roommates taking photos for me and video. Unfortunately the videos did not transfer correctly to my computer and they got deleted in the process, so I lost the videos of the event, but overall it went really well. Very happy with it, and looking forward to putting on another one in the States at my home Uni.
