We are so proud of the wonderful support from the School Community of the Jockey Club Sarah Roe School. The latest donation was a wonderful HK$7,195 from the recent Walkathon. The photographs below speak for themselves, but it never fails to make us very proud that JCSRS staff and students, as well as the school community as a whole, continue to support us.
Please note the wonderful photographs from the Walkathon below :-
The funds helped us raise the HKD 50,000 we needed to send as a Christmas surprise to the Tasikoki Wildlife Rescue and Education Centre in December. This donation enabled all the 500 + rescued animals to be fed for a month. It also allowed the wonderful volunteers, led by Sylvia Gan, to provide wonderful additional enrichment for the animals too!
Many students from HK and elsewhere visit the centre and they assist in the care as well as the preparation of enrichment for these animals. We hope that later this year one of the school groups that visit from HK will give a talk about their experience to the school community at the JCSRS.
Adrienne, from Masarang HK, gave a talk to staff and students recently. We wanted to thank the school community for their kind long-term support and to give an update on the projects. She talked about the sea turtle projects as well as the many rescued animals at the Tasikoki Wildlife Rescue and Education Centre, run by the Masarang Foundation. She also updated the JCSRS Community on the orangutans at the Sintang Orangutan Centre. Adrienne awarded an orangutan doll to the class that raised the most funds from sponsorship for the Walkathon. She also donated an orangutan doll to the school as a gesture of our grateful thanks for all the wonderful long-term support. The dolls are made by a women’s collective that partners with the Sintang Orangutan Centre. The project aims to help to empower the women in the group as well as raise funds for the orangutan project and was initiated and supported by Masarang HK.
