Wall Painting @ RIPAS

24Jul10, SD/Credit Operation organize a CS activity (Wall Painting at RIPAS). More than 30 HSBC staff volunteered in this event. Start at 7.30am and finish at 11.00am (earlier than expected). I arrived at 8:30am because I took almost 1 hour to find a parking spot.

Feedback:
"It is rewarding to see the area transform into such a colourful and friendly place for the children who will be coming in for treatment." said Victor Chan Jia Jiunn, Service Delivery, HSBC Brunei

While Erni Amat, Service Delivery said: This is mt first time as a volunteer but it's really a wonderful experience. Hope the 'colour of love" that we have painted on that day bring a joyful spirit for those who see it. And I loved that everyone worked together to make it happen.
