NOT DONATING ISB uniforms in the neighborhood- Please
by Usa Somboon
usomboon@isb.ac.th
Dear ISB Community,
Recently, we have received reports that a few people in the neighborhood were wearing donated ISB uniforms (ISB P.E unforms and other ISB logo t-shirts).
We understand that some families may start to prepare for their move and will be giving away clothes that are not needed. However, due to safety and security reasons of ISB, please do not donate uniforms to the people in our neighborhood. Donation of uniforms can be given to the White Elephant , 2nd floor of Oasis shopping Center on Samakee Road; or to the Changwattana community Church, at lakeside inside Nichada. Both organizations will send the uniforms to refugee camps upcountry. Or alternatively, contact Dianne Parker at 083 600 3831. She is in charge of lost and found items here at ISB.
Thank you for your kind cooperation,
Kind regards,
Usa
