Early Christmas at Malaban East Elementary

We were initially worried when we received another urgent plea for help right after our relief operation at Malaban Elementary School. We were not sure if we had enough resources for 722 kids! Amazingly though, we were able to raise enough. Thank you once more to all who contributed to this project and helped make a lot of kids happy :)

boxes and boxes of goodies!

1 pencil case, 2 pencils, 1 ballpen, 1 eraser, 1 sharpener, 1 bath soap, 1 toothbrush
3 sachets of toothpaste, 1 banana, 1 bag of cookies and a choco drink!
