"BACK TO METHODIST SCHOOL NIBONG TEBAL" Carnival, from 11th to 13th of March 2011
Dear Friends!
Our Alumni has decided to proceed with helping our old school (113 years old!) by collaborating with the schools - Primary and Secondary teachers and PTAs together with the Governing Council (representing the Church) to organise a "BACK TO METHODIST SCHOOL NIBONG TEBAL" Carnival, from 11th to 13th of March.
The schools shall organise the carnival games and food fair, etc. The Alumni shall be organising the Dinner at the school on Saturday the 12th. We are also trying to get the necessary approvals and to invite the tertiary institutions (colleges/vocational institutes/universities) to exhibit their products and services at the school.
Friends, we appeal to all of you for HELP. Buy the carnival tickets (RM10 per booklet) and the dinner seats/tables (RM 50/seat,or RM 70/seat, or RM 100/seat).
Spread the word around, find your old friends and family members, visit the school to reminesce and enjoy while you help the school>
The Alumni is also promoting the "Class Adoption Program" where you can contribute RM1500 per year for the class that you pick. This will help to defray the cost of repair and maintenance...
Why are we doing this for the school ? Come and visit the school and you shall be surprised at the dillapidated condition of the school! Students and teachers do not have proper chairs and tables! (rickety plastic chairs of different shapes and colours!)
Yes, we can argue that it is the responsibility of the Church as owners, or it should be the responsibility of the Education Ministry... while the students and teachers suffer! Let us do something for this institution that had been the "beacon of light" for most of us...a "Symbol of Hope" for so many mums and dads with their silent prayer that their kids (the students) will find a better life...a "Sanctuary" for the many under-privileged girls and boys to find friendship...explore new realms of thought...and a place to exercise.
