What have we done so far?

So far, we have done alot of cutting and washing of the banners. After all the cutting and washing of the banners, we will sent it to the Auntie for her to sew into banner bags.
Here are some random pics taken=)

When we are doing the cutting & washing...

Our mentor, Ms Dion Lee is coaching us on the cutting of the banners.
We had a hands-on session.
The "Cinderella"s & their "Prince Charming"s
The "Dryer-man" and his workplace
Mr Heart of Gold (one of our volunteers)
Time for QC (Quality Control)
All of us gathered to do the QC

After all the hardwork that day, we took poses for our banner bags=)

Went down to the sewer's house=)
Took photos with the Auntie who helped us to do the sewing of bags=)

Delivery for our 1ST ORDER!!!
We went down to HSBC to make the delivery
