Special Needs Fund Raising Week

26th May 2011

This whole week, JIS has been hosting a fund raising week and all students and staff work hard together to collect funds to be donated to children with special needs here in Brunei. Last Tuesday, Year 2 had a bake sale and mummy helped me by donating some banana cupcakes. When mummy came during lunch to see the sale, she discovered that the bake sale was so successful that all baked goodies were sold out during the morning break. Safiya was a bit frustrated as well as she didn't get to buy anything from the sale.

As for her class, Safiya and her friends undertake to do some house chores for two days. A certificate is then made with the help of parents showing which chores were done. In return, parents donate $2 towards the fund. Here is Safiya's finished certificate:


It's very good that we are exposed to fund raising activities at our early age. Our parents hope that this provides a strong message for us to carry into our future because there are people out there who need our care, love and support no matter where they are.
