On 22 May 2008, students from St Anthony’s Canossian Primary School responded to the call of the Canossian Community to donate food to the mission in Myanmar.
The day before, Vice-Principal, Mrs Julia Chia spoke to the school about the urgency for food donations, types of food which students can donate and where their donations will be sent to. Parents and students started pouring in with bags of canned food, instant noodles, milk powder, condensed milk and biscuits. The packed boxes had personalised notes of encouragement and love, to the people of Myanmar. One of the classes wrote, "Your smile will brighten our day!" Indeed, they have learnt that it is “better to give than to receive.”
This donation drive has been a very fulfilling and good experience for the staff and pupils. It was a good opportunity for them to reach out to the global community and think about others before self.To learn more about how SACP organised this activity, please contact Mrs Corinna Foo, HOD Community Relations at Tel: 64492597 or 64492239
