BA CARES is having a upcoming activity that needs a lot of your help!
Garangunee collection has always been BA Cares forte and they would like to capitalize on their experience to aim for a more ambitious target – TEN TONS -an island wide newspaper collection while creating a Guinness World Record.
Event Day: 14 July 2007 Saturday
Time: 9am to 1.30pm
Meeting Time: 830 am

Do our part for the environment
Inspire the public to do their bit for the environment
Engage youths in community involvement
Support the various efforts of VWOs
