Our Tamil School Charity Plan – The Story
As promised, we have successfully executed our charity activity on the 9th of July 2009. To be frank, this would be the second charity activity that I have been involved after being hooked up with another charity a few weeks back, which was the “Sri Lankan War Victims Charity Car Wash“.
Well, basically, everything was well-planned and we are glad that we never went through any “downs” compared to the “ups” that we gained throughout the execution. Anyway, the school that we visited was SJK(T) Pulau Carey Selatan (Banting) and believe it or not, the total students in that school were only 44+ students. Brother Durai had explained pretty well on what happened during our journey to that school thus I won’t be touching that part in detail.
The moment we reached that school, we were like “So, where’s the other buildings?”. Well, it seems that the school is just fit enough to cater all those 44+ students with their moderate-conditioned classrooms, a small HM room and a mini-library. The school toilet were demolished recently and it seemed that they rebuilt it on a separate ground and I’m not sure about the water supply over there as the moment we had a peek inside, there was no water!
Leaving that aside, we quickly gathered at what-seemed-to-be their ‘canteen’ and there was Mr. Satish, the person in charge (since the HM was not around). He was a very nice man and he acknowledged our visit to that school and even asked our whereabouts and exchanged some questions amongst each other. He was very delighted with our motive to help that school in a way that we could and thanked us in advance. Without hesitation, he quickly asked all the students to gather at the ‘canteen’ and believe me, all the students were very well-mannered and disciplined. It was quite usual for those students to chit-chat with one another at first and there was another lady teacher who came forward and warned them to remain silent. Well, that won’t be something new to us though.
Then, we started serving the Mee Hoon followed by KFC (3 buckets that have been bought earlier) to all those kids one by one. They seemed to be so happy and amused knowing the fact that they are being served KFC, Mee Hoon along with some soft drinks. Before they started to eat, Mr. Satish gave a short speech and even asked the students to thank us for our motive, as how you could see in the video above. Well, frankly speaking, their ‘thanks’ should go to all our donators and contributors especially for making this charity plan a big success.
While we were filming and chit-chatting with some of those kids while they were busy eating, we were being bombarded with tons of requests for “Chilly sauce”. It seems that the chilly sauce packets were not sufficient for them and we had one last packet, which we have no choice but to let it being shared by 3 kids. Then, came one of the teachers demanding for a packet of Chilly sauce as well! Oh my, we had a hard time saying that we don’t have any chilly sauce packets left to all of them.
