Thursday, December 30
In the wake of the massive earthquake and tsunami that hit much of Southern Asia and East Africa, we have received numerous offers to help from staff and students. Ngee Ann has decided to approach this as a collective effort to better channel our energies to help victims of the devastation
Several groups of students and an alumnus will be spearheading Ngee Ann's disaster relief effort.
This relief effort will consist of two parts:
1. Donations in kind (30 and 31 December 2004)
We are appealing for donations in-kind only for the following items by Noon on 31 Dec.
(please note that no cash donations will be collected during this drive):
Water purification tablets
Bandages and plasters (eg. Handyplast and Band-aids)
Paracetamol (eg Panadol)
Muesli/Granola Bars
Rice
Instant Noodles
Canned Food
Tents
Blankets
Ground Sheets
Medical items stated in bold above are of greater immediate demand.
The details for the collection are as follows:
Dates:30 and 31 December 2004
Time:10am - 5pm (30/12/04)
9am - Noon (31/12/04)
Collection Point:The Atrium
Students led by the NPSU, the NP Outward Bounders and NP Sports Club will be manning the collection booth. All collections will be packed on the afternoon of the 31st and delivered the next day to the Singapore Sinhala Buddhist Association through Melissa Guna Desa, a 2002 Mass Communication graduate.
2. Cash donations (6 - 10 Jan 2005)
We are also working with the Singapore Red Cross Society (SRCS) to set up a booth along Orchard Road (at the road junction in front of Crown Prince) and at Ngee Ann Polytechnic to collect cash donations.
This is a cash only donation drive. It will take place next week, between 6 and 10 January 2005.
We are currently working out the details with the SRCS, and more information will be released to you in the next couple of days when they are finalised. The NPSU, the NP Outward Bounders and a group of students led by Sherlyn Poh/BME, are leading this. We are also involving the NP Student Council and its constituent academic societies.
On behalf of Ngee Ann, I'd like to thank you in advance for your contributions and your generosity. Let's come out in full force to do our part!
