The Ark sails towards CSR

i am seriously hoping i do not get fired for that header but it is sooooo catchy and i could not resist it.
To explain, I work as a Senior Accounts Executive in an Advertising Agency called Noah's Ark (hence the Ark in the title of this post).

Right before we went on holidays for the christmas season, we decided that after moving into a new estate it might also be a good idea to do something for the public schools a walking distance from the estate in which our office is located. Instead of thinking up grand ways to give back to them and buying rice and food stuff and the rest of them (which will be totally useless because it is the end of the year and after Christmas it will be at the bottom of their stomachs), we decided to donate some of the products our Clients manufactured. So cartons of Indomie Noodles and solar powered table lamps were presented to the 2 schools.

Here are pictures from the donation exercise

the first school

my bosses and some journalists who came to cover the 'ceremony'

the remaining students. Some of them had gone home before we arrived.

LA explains how the lamps work

and we did it!

the health prefect giving a vote of thanks (we all agreed that she speaks fluent english and her accent is beautiful)

ok, yes i know i said its a walking distance but the sun was really very hot and high up in the sky.

the second school

they were just closing for the day

kids will be kids, they couldnt take their eyes off all the camera holding people

LA addressing the students

putting the goods in place

LA explaining how the lamps work once again and telling them how beneficial it will be to them in study.

and the speech goes on

in deliberations

head boy and head girl snap a pose with LA and Victor (snap a pose? what is that?)

and they all appear in the picture now

i had not taken a picture of me in a while. Im sorry i had to do this.

the head boy giving a vote of thanks

yes, that is my teeth reflecting the light (unfortunately i cant remember the exact toothpaste brand i used,  pity i am sure you all would have loved to use it too)

So it has been generally decided that in this new year, we will commence a mentoring program for these kids and it is possible that every staff will have a child assigned to them. Wouldn't it be nice to have a mini-me? Some one to teach makeup to and how to write about beauty and all that stuff?
