Spread the Love @ Curtin Carnival

All the 8 members of the group.

The 30th of August 2008, an approximately 3,000 visitors from Miri city, gathered at Curtin University of Technology Sarawak Campus.

Fortissimo was there as well. We set up a games booth: "balls-4-charity" and also a few donation boxes that were distributed around campus. It was the first time Fortissimo went public.

The day itself also to kicked-start the 'Spread the Love Campaign'.

Their requests were written in paper shaped hearts.

Once the children's requests were met, they will have a label pasted on their paper-heart requests saying they've 'got the love'.

Loving, Caring & Compassionate

A whiteboard posted with 60 over simple handwritten requests by the children was to showcase the simple needs of the children. The requests were just simple single requests and also a list up to 20 items requested. Their wanting were just basic and simple stuffs like 'a KFC meal', 'pencil box' and some even stated their promise once the request is met! (to study hard etc) so cute...

Drawing many compassionate and caring people to the booth, each wanted to contribute with any amount. Some also opted to be contacted when there'll be visit as they felt like participating in these activities with the children.

One of the request was "a watch" - A visitor *name undisclosed* took of her watch on the spot and donated it. 

At the end of the day, all of you who contribute have made a difference in at least another person's life in one way or another. We would like to appreciate you all from the bottom of our hearts and on behalf of the children of Peryatim Sarawak and Methodist house of Hope Miri, we thank you!
