Dear Parents/Guardians, Students, and Alumni:
The most anticipated holiday of the year, Christmas, is just a few weeks away. We all know that we will be celebrating Christmas a little differently this year. Since most of us will just be staying safe in our homes and doing away with lavish parties, gift-giving, and trips abroad, there is definitely a more meaningful way to keep up the Christmas spirit.
Many of our less fortunate neighbors and fellow citizens are not only reeling from the effects of the pandemic but also suffering from the aftermath of horrible typhoons that have recently swept through the country. Many have lost their homes and livelihood and are struggling to survive in the face of flooding and devastation.
As we count our blessings, let us remember our brothers and sisters who need our help so much. A disaster like this is always an acid test for the nobility of the human spirit. This is the time to give what little hope we can to the hopeless, to give courage to the helpless, to give faith to the forsaken. The true Unean goes beyond charity and generosity. The true Unean is a person of genuine compassion and love. Let us hold true to the Unean spirit and give all that we can to our suffering countrymen now that they greatly need our help. Whatever help we can give will undoubtedly go a long way.
The Uno Christmas Fund Drive 2020 will start onThursday, November 19, 2020, and will end on December 18, 2020. Please share your blessings by depositing your cash donations into Uno High School Incorporated (account name), Banco de Oro (BDO) account number 000238022346 on or before our deadline on December 18. Unlike the previous years, we will not be considering donations in kind this year because we do not have enough staff members to keep track of, organize, and sort such donations.
Your cash donations will benefit the needy families living near our school, as well as the typhoon victims in the different calamity areas.
As our late principal Dr. Jose Yu Siek Pong had always said, “Christmas is more meaningful when we share our blessings with the poor.” Thank you and may God continue to pour His blessings upon you!
Sincerely,
The Uno High School Administration
2020年聖誕濟貧運動訊息
各位家長/監護人、校友及同學們:
聖誕節即將來臨，今年我們慶祝的方式不同於往年。我們大都為了安全而待在家中，不舉辦或參加宴會，也不互送禮物和出國旅遊，但肯定會用更有意義的方式來保持聖誕節的精神。
許多不幸的鄰居和同胞不僅受到疫情的困擾，而且還遭受了最近席捲全國的可怕颱風的影響。很多人失去了家園和生計，並在洪水和破壞面前掙扎求生。
當我們想著自己的幸福時，也要想到急需我們幫助的兄弟姐妹。像最近的大災難是對人類崇高精神的嚴峻考驗。現在正是我們給不幸的人希望，給無助的人勇氣，給孤獨的人信心的時候。真正的尚一人是超越了慈悲心和慷慨，是充滿了同情心和愛心的，讓我們堅守尚一精神，盡一切可能對我們遭受苦難的同胞伸出援手。
我們將於本(十一)月十九日星期四開始發動聖誕濟貧運動，截止日期為十二月十八日。今年因為人手不夠，不收各種各類的東西，只收現金捐獻，捐款請存入Uno High School Incorporated（賬戶名），Banco de Oro（BDO銀行）賬戶000238022346。
您的捐助將使學校周遭的貧困家庭以及這次受災的災民受益。
故校長楊式榜博士經常說：「如果我們能與貧窮的人分享，聖誕節將過得更有意義。」謝謝，願上帝繼續賜福給您！
