The Aftermath of 'Ondoy' (Ketsana)
Metro Manila was caught unprepared for the devastation brought about by typhoon Ondoy during the weekend. Thousands of families were affected, losing homes, properties and even lives.
Thankfully, the school fared well during the onslaught of the rains. And because of this privileged status, concerned students and parents from GESM together with teachers, organised themselves and put together their very own relief mission to the victims of this tragic event.
Mr Hewitt, her school teacher had forwarded me a message coming from the Student Council regarding the event . Message as follows :
Dear E-7A Community,
The first of our four casual days will take place this Friday, the 9th of October and we would like to ask you to remind your students during registration about this date. As always, a donation of
S$ 1 for Kindergarten/Preschool and grades 1- 5 and
S$2 for grades 6-13
will be collected, and Ziploc bags for each class will be provided in the registration files. Please pass the donations back to the main office at the end of registration for collection.
The donations will proceed to the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines through close collaboration with our friends at the German European School in Manila.
Additional donations instead of the usual S$1/S$ 2 are most welcome and appreciated, considering the devastated situations of the victims.
Thank you for your support!
Your Student Council
I'm very happy that GESS in connection with GESM are trying their best to support the victims . A Real big salute to all of you out there and many , many thanks for all your help !
