GESL Meeting 260208

Meeting on 26/02/18 lasted from 430pm till 630pm. The following issues were discussed.

1.) Trip to Chiang Mai
a)It was agreed that the trip should take place between the 27th and the 31st of May.

b)The trip will last for 4D/3N and will take place between the stipulated time period as stated in the preceding point. The exact dates will depend on the availability of flights and Charlene has volunteered to find out more details regarding the flight schedules

2.) List of items to be included in the kids’ kits

a)The list of items to be included in the kids’ kits has been put online by the programmers already.

b)It was mentioned that the first aid kit would not be assembled by the Singaporean kids. Instead, the first aid kits could be bought using student donations. Another suggestion would be that we could use the $100 allocated to each GESL group and buy first aid kits. Kaili also suggested buying first aid kits from polyclinics as it would be cheaper.

c)Waiwang also mentioned that the kids’ kits will contain personal items. It will contain cards for the Thai kids to design for their Singaporean counterparts. He also suggested that we take a photo of a Thai kid with the kit received from his/her Singaporean counterpart and that this photo will be brought back to Singapore and distributed to the Singapore students who made the kits.

3.) Transportation of kids’ kits from Singapore to Thailand

a)Boxes of kids’ kits will be checked in by representatives form Homerun who will be flying to Thailand. Each person has 15kg of luggage allotted to them so it is feasible to check the kits in. This will also prevent any delay in the kits reaching the kids in Thailand.

b)Clarice has kindly volunteered to help in sourcing for boxes and other transportation materials so that we can save cost.

4.) Publicity/ IT and Treasurers broke up and discussed their various issues

a)Publicity will prepare the slides for the presentation when meeting Katong convent. Anisah has been nice enough to go about arranging a date with the school and will update on this as soon as possible.
