Jiamin, Participant:

This is part 2 of this year’s newspaper collection drive and we concentrated mainly in the east area of Singapore this time.

On a hot afternoon, 2 cars travelled to different households collecting newspapers. We were done within 2 hours as there were lesser to collect this time. However, we are still grateful to our family and friends for their contribution. No matter how little it was, they all add up to a substantial amount ultimately.

Can you imagine this amount of newspaper actually weigh 600+kg?

On a side note, something unpleasant happened. We got cheated! The rate was supposed to be $0.20/kg however the collection centre only gave us $0.15/kg! Reason being we drove in cars instead of van/lorry so they assume we are richer.

Nonetheless, it was a well-spent and meaningful afternoon.
