ON\u00a0the morning of 20th of March 2013, nine girls from Perth Modern Senior High School in Perth\u00a0took to the streets and to city train stations, rattling bright yellow tins and wearing baggy white shirts to raise money for\u00a0Radio Lollipop. Florentia Susilo, Phoebe Ho, Lauren Street, Anju Nakanishi, Anais Asotoff, Nalindri Jayasinghe, Fiona Yokohata\u00a0all braved the dark morning and grumpy commuters to shake tins\u00a0and help bring smiles to\u00a0sick kids.<\/p>\n
Even though they were confronted by some ‘morning-hating’ people, most were kind enough to spare some change, or even empty their entire wallets out! A few Transperth bus drivers passed by the station, honking their horns and giving us a few waves, some in free dress, others in costumes. The best costume that day would probably have to go to Mr Bob the Builder.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone who donated and helped out on the day! You guys have made a difference in these kids\u2019 lives. In one morning, the girls collected $913.45 for Radio Lollipop towards our goals of $100,000.\u00a0We look forward to your support in 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
