Brilliant Job!

Great job on the latest build! It was great and we made the home-owners really happy and hopefully you guys had a lot of fun as well. We hope you guys continue to come to the next builds! (:

Build it up!!

Hey everyone! Great performance on our new theme song “Build It Up!”

Assembly!!

So tomorrow (October 11th) we will be singing at the assembly. DO NOT FORGET YOUR H4H SHIRTS. If you don’t have one please bring money to buy one because we want everyone to be in it. Also try to memorize the song so we won’t be seen holding a cheat sheet. This assembly would be recorded and spread out everywhere, so look your best! We’ll be famous! :P

Any questions, please ask Ms. Jones!!

We Did It!!

Congrats guys!!

Our first build ever was a success!! Fun yet tiring. Hope all of you enjoyed it! Of course, some people might be all sore and aching now, but it was worth it!! We’ll get the pictures on here soon. Thanks everyone for working hard and doing a great job. Looking forward for the next build! :)

Updates and Reviews on 25th Sept Build

Time Departing: 7:30 a.m!! Don’t be late! (Meet at front of school)

Time Returning: 5:00 p.m

Location: Pathumthani

We will be digging for the foundation beams of the house and also some cement mixing! It’ll be pretty hard work!

We will be assigned a team with Ms. Pine-Petthong or Mr. Zambrano. There will be 2 habitat representatives that will be giving use instructions and other workers who will help us to do tasks correctly. Stay Safe and Listen to the Instructions!

The clothes you would want to wear should be something old and something you don’t really like. Don’t bring something too old cause there will be cameras out!! Also we will be digging in the dirt(maybe), so your pants will most likely get dirty. Bring a hat! There probably won’t be a lot of shade. Please wear sneakers, if something falls on your feet it’ll hurt less and you wouldn’t want to get your toes dirty. Bring some sunscreen too!.

As for food and money, lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided for us. You could bring some of your own as well. We’re not sure where we’ll be eating, whether if it’s at the site or a restaurant near the site. You could bring some cash in case. Though there is also a promotion where you could get habitat for humanity supplies (hats, t-shirts, gloves, etc) for only 250 baht!!  Usually our ISB habitat t-shirts are 250 baht and this one you get so much more!! So if you want that bring at least 250 baht to the build. Don’t bring too much money or anything valuable, we wouldn’t want things to get lost.

If you are going to be late or want to cancel call Ms. Pine-Petthong  Call: 081-480-1090

C u guys there!! :D

In case anyone forgot the build information for this Saturday, we will be going to Pathumthani. Please come to school BEFORE 7:30 am!! We’ll be coming back at around 5 p.m. Don’t forget your hats! Also no fancy or brand-new shirts cause we will definitely get dirty. Please wear sneakers. Snacks, lunch, and drinks will be provided though you could bring your own and some money.
