Well guys, after several months we're finally getting to the last stage of our "Giving Back to St Joe" campaign ... The official handover will be very soon.
Before we show you the new furniture, here's a reminder of what the class looked like before.
Now here are the photos of the new desks and chairs our donation made possible. A million thanks to Bob for all the hard work in coordinating this.
A closer shot of the label ...
Now for the teacher's table ...
Bob decides to test drive the chair and desk ...
Another view of the desks and chairs ...
Another view of the classroom ...
Wow, what a difference !

Oh, forgot to mention: thanks also to Mark for helping with the furniture inspection!
ReplyDeleteGood job Bob and WJ and Mark!
ReplyDeleteWe hope other former classes of St Joe will also band together to give back something. Every little bit counts. Ora Et Labora!
ReplyDeleteNew furniture looking good. Maybe we shd also pay for new coat of paint for the walls. And fix some of the windows too. Got any money left kah?
ReplyDeleteEither the desk has gotten smaller or Bob has gotten bigger. LOL
ReplyDeleteBob has confirmed that the official handover will be on 15th September 2010, 10:30am. He needs at least 3 representatives each from 5Sc, 5Arts1 and 5Arts2. More welcome. Please let Bob know. His mobile number is +60 138020620 .
ReplyDeleteThink Bob has grown bigger la, most probably I will be there on the 15th morning, Bob.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the old tables and chairs? I'm sure some can still be use or they throw away or make fire wood or for camp fire.
Yeah, maybe as camp firewood for the Boy Scouts camping trip lah ... LOL
ReplyDeleteNice work, Bob. Well done and thanks a buzzillion.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for their generosity. Without each and every one of your kind contributions, this would not have been possible.
ReplyDeleteGreat effort, guys....credit, especially to " Bob and the Band of Brothers" !
ReplyDeleteGood choice of colour too. ( matching colour for table & chair )
I have spoken to the Sarawak Editor in Chief of The Star who has kindly promised to send a reporter to cover the 'handing over' on 15 Sept at 10.30am. I am still trying to reach his counterpart at Borneo Post. Dato AM, are you sending someone from NST?
ReplyDeleteBob is still waiting for a couple of reps from each class to be present for the ceremony. Please contact him if you can make it. I understand WJ will be coming in.
Of course must colour coordinated loh ... Uncle Bob got style what? Next time we must get designer Pete Tiong to do the rest of the classroom decor . Ha ha ha
