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!

Any questions, please ask Ms. Jones!!

We Did It!!

Updates and Reviews on 25th Sept Build

random559 — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 11:38:33 +0000

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!!
