SFMS Student Service Learning Bintan Trip!

Updates on SFMS Student Service Learning Bintan Trip!

A HUGE thank you to all our High School St Francians who went on a mission trip to help a needy family from the rural area of Bintan, Indonesia!

With the money that was raised during the fundraising event last month, we were able to build a clean water system for the family. The clean water system consists of a safe water garden for the family to grow their own vegetables and a water filter tank which will make water from the nearby well potable. Our St Francians also helped to build a toilet for the family! The family can now enjoy Safe Water and Sanitation! 🥰

We greatly appreciate our St Francians’ hard work and dedication to this community service project! Let’s continue to do good for the community and make the world a better place for all of us! 🤗

Here’s a short clip of our St Francians behind the scenes! 🤭
