Myanmar Collections

On 22 May 2008, the 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 staff and students packed all these into boxes which were kindly donated by one of the staff members.
They penned down their notes of encouragement and love to the people of Myanmar on the boxes.

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 our staff and pupils. This was a good opportunity for us to reach out to the global community and think about others before self.
