A small discussion was held between Ms Sarada and Ms Elizabeth. Ms Elizabeth was unhappy to see the Lady Bird Book without the HSBC Stickers and emphasized that the books must have the HSBC stickers. Ms Sarada informed that in 2006 all the Lady Bird Book sent to the schools by CHILD contained HSBC stickers. However, in 2008, HSBC did not provide CHILD the stickers. Ms Sarada also requested HSBC to provide more stickers to be sent to all RAW HSBC schools.
The visitation ended with refreshment prepared by Ms Beh. Overall the visitation was very fruitful.
