Batam Orphanage Trip

The Student Council will be leading a 1-day trip to a Batam Orphanage - Yayasan Zeyfanez.

This is part of our ERCI Care initiatives whereby our students and staff will be spending a meaningful day with the 22 orphans there. These orphans aged 7 to 11 years of age are survivors of the Aceh Tsunami. They have all lost their parents and loved ones during the disaster and are now being taken care by this orphanage built by Mr Akmalludin.

We are now calling for YOU to join us to share our joy and love with these kids. Details of trip as follow:

Date : 22 Apr (Sun)

Time : 8am – 8pm

Cost : (1) S$44-50 (Ferry ticket)

          (2) US$10-00 (Visa on arrival – only applicable to certain nationalities; please refer to link below)

As we have limited seats for student, interested student please email to me directly asap and it will be a first-come-first-serve basis.

 

Meanwhile, we are soliciting for the following items to be donated:


1) Books (Story books; no novels as these kids’ level of English proficiency is low)
