A big THANK YOU to each one of you who have contributed to the collection efforts!

I copy Mr Jeyaram's message of thanks (received at 4.50pm yesterday), below:

" I would like to extend my heartfelt Thanks & appreciation to all the Parents for their generous support in donating items for the India trip. We are indeed very touched by the enthusiasm and support by PSG.

But very sadly, SILKAIR has only allowed 140kg of donations items to be brought over to India as such I humbly request you to convey to the Parents that we have collected enough items and thus there is not a need for anymore donation items due to the excess baggage cost.

Once again, Thank you so much to the Parents for the generous support.

May God bless you'll abundantly. "

Again, please refer to actionable items (1) and (2). Thank you!

Best regards,

Siti
