Resourcefulness

During my time here one of the skills I’ve learned is resourcefulness. Living in a house with 4 other guys, all of whom are on strict budgets has forced me into a mindset that has sharpened my procurement strategies.

You’ll be impressed at how much we’ve managed to acquire in the past few weeks. For example, any bread and milk left in the staff room at the end of the day automatically becomes our property, same goes for a box of 48 toilet rolls that were left unattended nearby. We also successfully liberated 82 cans of coke at the end of the school dance (and transported them using a bin bag, which we happened to be lying about). 

We’ve also been gifted various items during our time here, including crates of alcohol, sports tickets, theatre tickets - all of which are fully appreciated! Some of the boys in the house also managed to talk a friend into giving them the clothes he no longer needed (he wasn’t wearing them at the time, obviously!)

If you too would like to make a donation to this cause, then please contact me directly.
