HELPING PEOPLE
STUDENTS GO HUNGRY FOR CHARITY
Students at New Point School enjoyed their breakfast more than usual yesterday for it broke a 24-hour sponsored fast.The students had all volunteered to go without food for one day to raise funds for World Vision projects to help the poor in underdeveloped countries.
Mr James Wood,their English teacher,said that the students had suggested the idea themselves,after seeing shocking pictures of famine in Africa.They arranged the whole thing.'he said.'I'm very proud of them.'
Jane Austin,a senior High Grade 3 student,said,'It seemed wrong for us to have lots of food,while those innocent people were starving.Donations of more than $24,000 have been collected.They came from the students' money for meals and money donated by sponsors.
The students were delighted with the total amount.'We were surprised that people were so generous.'said Alan Long,a freshman.
FAIR HELPS FLOOD VICTIMS
Colourful signs,loud music and exciting games attracted hundreds of visitors to a charity fun fair at Rainbow School on Sunday.There were over 30 stalls at the fair,which was held in aid of flood victims in South-East Asia.
Mr Anita Li,the organizer of the fair,said,'We were worried because there are so many charity appeals these days.It seemed possible that very few people would come.
`At first it was difficult for me to think of new ideas for the stalls.
But then I asked my students.They were able to make lots of suggestions.
I was amazed at all their brilliant ideas.'
All her worries were forgotten as the fair was crowded with excited people enjoying themselves in the warm autumn sunshine.The portrait sketching stall,karaoke stall,games and food stalls were busy all day
Ms Li,a science teacher,calculated that the event had raised over $65,000.
WALKATHON SUCCESS
Over 200 students,teachers,parents and alumni of Hillside School took part in a 10 km walkathon to raise money recently.
Andy Lever was the first home in just over an hour. 'The purpose of the walk is to raise funds for many school projects,'he,explained'we want to purchase more books for the library,equipment for the science labs and to finance more school trips.'
Shirley Green,a sophomore,raised $11,900.'My mother agreed to sponsor me,'he said,'and she asked her friends.Many of them were willing to sponsor me,too.'
The proceeds of the day came to over $150,000.'I was astonished at the total'said Stanley Lewis,who organized it.'We would have been satisfied with half of that amount.'
