We started with the clothes first. Actually, i didnt expect the result to be so overwhelming. I jus expect maybe a carload of things. But then, the clothes were so much that it had to be inside a toilet cubicle (that type of solo one for the disabled). We took out the clothes and tried to sort them out.
Some peeps very the "automatic". THey donated torn clothes and one sock tat type. I mean, its okie to donate this type of things. But u wan donate underwear, donate new ones lar... Don donate those used before one. Don know wat those peeps thihnking abt, maybe they think we are karung guni???!!! So the councillors have to take out bag by bag to check. After 1.5hrs of gruesome checking, i told them to stop alr lar.... Nt enough time to really check then put them into bags again. Hopefully no more dirty things are donated in those bags that we nvr check.
Then we move on to the food items. Yah, we met up with some unexpected donations as well. Expired and half opened itmes were also amg the food donations. Sianz lot. Maybe some peeps thought victims can eat expired food stuff while the "rich them" cannot touch them?
But most of them were nice enough. Even though the rice price is rising up, some parents still donated rice. Look at the result! Isnt it heart-warming?

Look at the boxes on the right hand side. At first, i thought it was some food stuff that the school has bought but not for the relief. But after checking with the office, it was actually one parent who drove in with a van and placed them in the room. Wow... The parent is so nice lor. Donate so many things.
Even up to yesterday around 3 plus, there were still parents coming in with food items lor. Wow!!
In all, we donated one ambulance full of clothes and one mini-bus full of food! Personally, i think it was great with jus one week of collection. Hopefully, the next time, we can have a longer time of collecting and hence, can collect more stuff.
