SIA Cabin Crew gave loads of supplies to Riverkids! - by Sophon

14 SIA Cabin Crew members arrived at Riverkids on 26 January 2010 and unloaded school supplies, baby milk powder, clothes, instant noodle, cakes and 500 kg of rice etc.






A nice surprise soon followed – around 100 kids who attended classes at Riverkids in the morning received ice-cream and bread!







As a welcome gesture, the choir and the Get Ready girls presented songs, traditional dance and break dancing to the visitors.

The visitors were so pleased to see that the kids not only have a chance to get educated, they get to pick up singing and dancing skills. Everyone just immersed into the warm and cheerful atmosphere as they enjoy the performances.


Later in the day, our staff brought the visitors to the Riverkids community along the Riverkids and Railway II sites where extremely poor families live in bizarre conditions.

However, when we visited the community, somehow both the kids and their parents who live there appeared happy and not ashamed. There is a radiance of hope and gratefulness on their faces that say, “We are not abandoned because you care for us.”

We would like to thank and honor our visitors and regular donors from SIA Cabin Crew who always remember the vulnerable kids around the world and especially the kids from Riverkids community.
