Felicia Tai & Jerry Wang | Co-Founders of GiveBox
Canada
One of the biggest lessons that we learned was the value of clear and
open communication. We found it important to maintain a constant
dialogue and frequently follow-up with updates and check-ins.
Within our own partnership, we realized that having a regular meeting
schedule and contact was crucial in allowing us to stay on track and
helped us complete our delegated tasks for each particular week.
Staying motivated while working through everything can be
challenging as sometimes there is no immediate payoff. What we found was that by working as a team
and having a good support system we were able to motivate each other. We divided up the tasks based on
our strengths and worked to use our time effectively during our last year in University.
GiveBox Canada is an initiative designed to provide everyday necessities, such
as toiletries and food, to the vulnerable and homeless populations through
partnerships with community members and businesses.
