FOCUSSED ON CRITICAL NEEDS Following the successful transformation of the first school, the campaign continued with the 2nd phase which was launched in February 2015. Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Tahan, Jerantut is located at the Simpang Felda Padang Piol area and reachable on the inner roads near Kuala Tembeling Jeti. The school was immersed underwater as it is located next to Sungai Tembeling at the Kuala Tahan National Park area. This school was chosen as it needed assistance due to its remote location and badly damaged condition. The school has not resumed 100% operations because there is still a need to refurbish classrooms and school compounds, which is why NIVEA is helping with bags as aids to the students and new notice boards for their classrooms. NIVEA has also embarked to assist SK Telok Sentang in Temerloh, which was immersed and damaged during the flood where school furniture and equipment were destroyed. Upon discussion with the school principal, NIVEA concluded that it is only fair and practical to provide the students what they require most urgently. Nivea’s Blue Aid to this school is the 30 pieces of notice boards, white boards and 186 pairs of sports track bottoms for their primary 4-6 students. NIVEA’s Blue Squad volunteers also painted the building walls of this school to freshen the outlook of the school. During the finale of this Campaign at SK Sanggang Seberang, the Blue Squad volunteers contributed in the painting of the newly freshen and bright colored building walls and canteen walls. At the same event, the NIVEA Blue Ride - school van was handed to the principal, and NIVEA Smile Packs to the students. NIVEA feels that it is important to rebuild the outlook of the school building and canteen walls so the students will be excited and proud to attend their school, motivating them to look forward to attend to their lessons in a clean and happy ambience. 23 “We believe that families are crucial to a strong society and a key source of confidence and care.
