Salutations boys and girls! Hope you guys are having a great week. Here is another post of what we did over the weekend.

Last Saturday 8th June, an enthusiastic band of Groupon volunteers went hand in hand with RockCorps to lend much needed help to refurbish the Agathian Shelter, an orphanage centre for boys.

Clad in T-shirts and shorts, we jumped to work on the various things around the cosy home from painting walls, fixing fences, planting plants, and even made furniture for the lovable kids.

Here is our impromptu carpenters being briefed on building a brand new cabinet!

Hammering down some community love, we fixed what needs fixing!

Our very own Picasso and Van Gogh laying down a fresh coat of paint on the walls to brighten the boys home.

Spraying new kinds of art on the outside walls, these Agathians are so excited to help out!

And even better, we learned about “moss graffiti” ! In time, the alphabets will be covered in green moss! How cool is that?

It was an awesome day filled with laughs and sweat, but to see all the kids smiling faces made it worth it :’)

Willing to give back to your community? Check out RockCorps facebook page

Thanks for reading and till next time guys!  Have a good one
