When
Mohd Faiz bin Mohd Rashid (Dunman Sec, Sec 4 Exp 2004) first learnt
of the tsunami disaster, he came up with a proposal and plan for
Dunman Sec to host a charity bazaar cum concert to raise funds and
presented it to the school. What followed was a joint effort by
parents, students, staff, alumni, SAC and the community to raise
funds for the tsunami victims. The Sec 4 students of 2004 together
with current students worked overtime to ensure the success of the
event held on Sunday 16th Jan 2005.
Parents
and students cleared their homes of unwanted items and brought them
to the school. The Parents' Support Group priced the items and put
them up for sale. Parents
and students made beautiful pottery for sale. Students sought creative
ways of raising money. For example, Sec 4A decided on a car wash,
4B grossed over a thousand dollars through the sale of ice-cream
donated by a parent, 4J created a haunted house, 5B set up a disco
while 4F made lots of money from their dunking machine.
The
concert graced by Mr Sheikh Haikel, the rapper and ex-Dunmanite
Dwayne Lau was a success with more than 400 tickets sold at $15.
The Dunman alumni band and choir joined current students in the
performance which also featured Dunman's wushu sensation and NPCC
drill. Mohd
Faiz is happy that his idea has generated more than $35,000 for
the tsunami victims.
