Jumble Sale Raises Almost RM2500

Over the weekend close to RM2500 (USD800) was raised through a charity jumble sale. All the items were donated and proceeds will go to the two Kachin refugee schools (New Generation & Victory). The unsold items were donated to the refugee community.

Thanks so much to all those who donated their 2nd hand items (and some were brand new and unused!). Thanks also to all those who bought our items at the sale. The money raised will be used for school supplies, meals for the students and will also help supplement salaries for the refugee teachers, many of whom work for minimum wages.

If you have any items to donate please send an email to my.beautiful.myanmar@gmail.com We will have a few jumble sales throughout the year and this is a great way to raise funds for the schools. Thanks!

Alice Smith's Interact Club Raises Funds for Refugee Schools

A few weeks ago a group of Interact Club students from the Alice Smith School paid a visit to the New Generation School. The students were from all over the world including the Netherlands, UK, USA and Fiji. The NG students were delighted to watch a slideshow presentation of what life was like in these different countries. The boys were especially attentive when it came to listening to the pretty Alice Smith girls! :)

The group had dropped by to present over RM4000 to the schools. This money was raised by the Interact Club through selling of candy canes over Christmas and roses over Valentine's Day. The students also raised close to RM900 in December selling some of the HeArt products of which all proceeds go towards the Kachin schools.

Thanks so much to Myrthe and her friends from the Interact Club. These gals have such big hearts, their school should be very proud of these future leaders! Myrthe and her mom have also donated many items to be sold at a charity Jumble Sale, all proceeds going to the schools as well.

I'm sure the Kachin students look forward to their next visit!
