Diamond’s eyes squinted as she covered her eyes from the glaring sun that knew no bounds when it came to spitting out heat.
"It’s very hot!" she exclaimed; lamentation readable in her tone before she put on a visor from PACE sportswear she brought along.
With it covering her eyes, she felt much better.
[Doesn’t she look good in that?]
[I am going to buy one for myself!]
Diamond didn’t know what the barrage was doing, but she knew that she was in a better mood after getting rid of the sun for a moment.
With everyone outside, she looked at them with a smile and said, "Let’s go! We still have another school to go to!" her tone was very pleasant to hear.
The six of them started walking towards where the group of teachers and students were waiting for them. And the drones were busy zooming in and capturing the essence of the school, making those who were seen to have several ideas.
It didn’t take that much time before the size of them, flagged by guards on both sides, arrived where the rest of the students and teachers were.
The headteacher who was very warm and welcoming welcomed their group. He was probably in his mid-fifties or above. He gave Diamond a good feeling.
"Welcome to our humble school. I hope that you traveled safely!" the headmaster spoke, his words very humble, a smile on his face which made Diamond like him even more.
Her eyes turned into crescents as she stretched her hand towards the headmaster’s while responding, "We traveled well. Thank you for worrying and for welcoming us at such short notice!"
The two shook hands briefly before separating.
"Hehe, we should be thanking you. After all, you came from afar!" the headmaster smilingly said, inwardly thinking about how soft her hands were and how this was their first charity event.
How could they let such a chance pass them?
Diamond was pleased with the man’s words. The smile never left her face.
The headmaster could tell that Diamond was the leader of the group, so he talked with her more.
Thanks to his positive attitude towards the group, he shared as much as he could about the school. After so long, he finally found someone willing to drive all the way to help, so why not cry all grievances and perhaps get more help?
While Diamond and the headmaster were having a heart-to-heart conversation, Julie was leading the other four and the teachers to take out several packs of sanitary pads and body lotions from the RV.
The number of packs being offloaded corresponded with the total number of students at that school, especially for the body lotion.
The schools didn’t have girls only, so the lotion was meant for both girls and boys. Diamond didn’t want to attract hate for girls and make them targets just because of silly sanitary pads.
By the time Diamond and the headmaster were done chatting, everything had been taken out.
Diamond, who knew that time wasn’t on their side and didn’t plan on wasting the students’ time to learn, didn’t waste everyone’s time.
Once she was given the floor to say a word, she took it without standing on ceremony.
"I just want to say thank you for welcoming us and giving us a chance to do some good deeds," she said smilingly as she looked at the students who were dressed in severely washed uniforms and some didn’t even have.
That was the difference between those who could afford it and not afford it.
Although she once grew up in a village, she had never lived in such poverty. Her parents would rather wear tattered clothes than let her wear such clothes.
Now she has a lot of money, so much that even if she has ten more generations to come, they wouldn’t be able to finish the money that she had.
So why not help those who were truly in need and, at the same time, help her fans to accumulate good karma by doing good deeds?
Although she was already doing it, it wouldn’t be bad to do more using her name personally as well.
As she stood there addressing the crowd, she made up her mind. ’Let’s do this project!’ determined to have the JEWELS leave a mark on this world.
"This is not something that I, Diamond, did by myself, but it’s a general effort by thousands of people who came together to make it happen. And they are called JEWELS. They are precious people, full of love and good hearts. I am here on their behalf.
Although, we didn’t bring much. We all sincerely hope that these little we have will bring you comfort and make your lives a bit better ......."
Diamond wholeheartedly continued with her speech for a while and in the process, she got a reminder from Andrea. {Mother, don’t forget the time!}
After getting that, Diamond swallowed more words she wanted to say and concluded her speech.
"Once again, thank you for having us," she said with a slight bow, a smile on her face, and the students all burst into applause.
Diamond smiled shyly, seeing everyone clapping for her like that. It reminded her of the time when she was in primary and high school.
With the speech concluded, Diamond and the JEWELS cooperated smoothly with the teachers to distribute the sanitary pads to all the female students and the lotions to all students.
The students were less than two hundred and the teachers barely reached two hundred.
All the girls were given five packets of sanitary pads, which, if used sparingly, could be used for five to six months.
Diamond also gifted the teachers body lotions and female teachers some sanitary pads as well.
After doing so, the headmaster requested to have some photos taken and found no issue with that, Diamond instructed one of the drones to be made visible. An action which stunned those who were watching and the students as well.
Who could have known that there was a flying drone that close?
With the drone hovering in the sky, all they had to do was pose for the pictures and several of them were taken nicely.
Diamond promised to send the processed pictures later, and the headmaster agreed with that.
Once that was done, Diamond bade farewell to the students and teachers without lingering for a long time.
After all, there was still one more place to go and time waited for no one.
