Upon hearing about the catastrophic earthquake
in Nepal, we, the Co-Arts Year 10s knew that we had to take immediate action.
My fellow classmate, Lujain and I led the project.
Since we needed something simple and
effective, our class came up with a charity drive. We went to junior school and
educated them on what happened during the earthquake, how destructive it was,
and how important it was to give help. As for senior school, during PHSE, a PowerPoint
presentation was shown to create awareness on the earthquake and our project.
The Mandarin Class helped us too. They held a
Mufti Day and a food sale. They gave all of their profits to this cause. Over a
course of a few weeks; we collected a good amount of money. Our teachers helped
arrange a cheque and an appointment with the Nepal Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
On Friday the 12th of June, we went
to the embassy. Raisha, Loucas and I represented the school. We arrived at the
embassy to pass the cheque. They told us that they appreciated our efforts to
help the victims.
Overall, it was unforgettable experience. It
is a great feeling knowing that we managed to help Nepal to recover with our
contributions although it is only a drop in the ocean. We hope and pray that
Nepal will recover soon.
