(Updated) Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a direct service club at ISB with more than 150 members. Our ISB members help build homes in rural Thailand about 2-3 times a year to contribute to our Thai community. On December 3rd from 10:25 am to 10:55 am, Mr. Timothy Loke will be coming to ISB on behalf of Habitat for Humanity Thailand to give a formal presentation regarding the funding of the organization. We would like to invite all ISB parents to join us in the MPB 1 on the day mentioned to participate in this unique opportunity.

Habitat for Humanity Club in high school is selling Christmas Cards that you can give to your friends and family. The cards represent a donation in the name of someone you would like to dedicate the card to. Your donation will help fund a Habitat Build in rural Thailand which will be attended by ISB students. Any donation will be a contribution to Habitat for Humanity Thailand. You can get the cards at the Booster Hut until December 3rd. Thank you for your generosity in helping us support our community! If you have any questions, please contact hsh4h@students.isb.ac.th.

We hope you will have a wonderful holiday!
