What can you do with five dollars?Buying a can of soft drinks? Or showing your care and sympathy towards the children who lost their parents because of SARS?

The Student Association used less than a week times to prepare for the "We Care, We Share" fund raising activity in order to meet the urgent need of the less unfortunate in the society.

The activity is named in such to express our care to those children and that we are willing to share the responsibility of fighting against the disease together. All money raised is donated to the We Care Education Fund, which is especially established to help the children who have lost their parents because of SARS.

Blue ribbons were sold at five dollars each on the tennis court on the 22nd and 23rd morning and afterschool. The feedback was much better than expected. Girls did not hesistate in giving up part of their pocket money at all. Some even bought twice and some were so enthusiatic that they persuaded their friends to buy also. With the perseverance in life that all students and teachers have, over seven hundred ribbons were sold. Almost every class room door had a big yellow ribbon hanging on it as a sign of class donation.

It was a week that we all realized even though how little we could help on our own, with every bit of effort could turn into something magnificant. It was not all about the total $ 8917.1 raised, but the heart-strings that we all got tugged.
