Carnival ACS 1 to raise funds
for tsunami relief effort
CARNIVAL ACS 1 -- the very first
carnival on the Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) Campus -- will
be held on March 12, 2005.
Conceptualised at the end of last
year, it aims to raise funds to provide quality education for
every ACS boy. However, in the light of the recent tsunami disaster
and in keeping with the ACS Spirit - that asks all to go beyond
oneself, to give back to the community and to help those in need
- the principals, staff and Parents' Support Group have decided
that the first $100,000 raised through the sale of Carnival coupons
will be channelled towards the tsunami relief effort.
With this new dimension to the fund-raising efforts, the organising
committee decided to move the original date of Feb 26 to March
12 so that the schools will be able to reach out to more people.
There will be plenty of food and challenging games.
The committee hopes that ACSians from all the ACS family of schools
will come and help make this event a success, enabling the school
to help those whose lives have been affected by the tragedy.
