The New MBHS Old Boys TRUST presents Frequently Asked Questions or FAQ (PART ONE) Dear Shumbas! Thank you for your continued support for these ongoing MBHS Old Boys Trust efforts! Lets keep it up Shumbas! Weve recently been receiving some well articulated ideas, comments and suggestions from a number of Old Boys from around the world and today we wanted to feature a sampling....to inspire more Shumbas to come forth with their ideas! We sincerely commend the brothers who are taking the time to express their ideas openly and as mentioned weve made the decision to share them here as FAQ in order to inspire a broader discussion on the critical matters that are on the minds of our fellow Old Boys. So dont just view or like this post...we seriously want to hear from you! Your input, voice and feedback is very important to us... Thanks in advance for all your supportive feedback...especially the three featured Old Boys....Thank you. However we also wanted to respond in some detail to all these ideas and hopefully shed some light as to where we are in the process because their questions and suggestions touched on some important common themes that weve been hearing from fellow Shumbas...its wonderful to see guys starting to see beyond the current state of things and into the future! Lets start sharing these constructive ideas as we will soon be entering into some serious internal discussions on the immediate steps to take now that the word is starting to get around about the Trusts existence and vision. We will then come before you and outline our action-plans and strategy! Please stay engaged and spread the word about the new efforts underway at MBHS through the MBHS Old Boys Trust efforts: Together we are an invincible pride of Shumbas! Lets go Shumbas! 1) Brother Mudiwa C. Commented and asked: Well done guys. Thats a great show of leadership and I hope we all take a cue from this. How can we ex-Shumbas become involved in this? Theres many of us all over the world who can donate in cash and kind. Is there a bank account and whats the trusts mission statement? Having been away from home for a while it broke my heart when I visited the school and found it in an appalling state. All the heritage the school had appeared to have been lost and even rugby was on the brink of being banned......We can donate books, sports kit, computers, stationery and other goods through various organisations we liaise with professionally and its good that there is a trust that can be used to channel all these donations. Notwithstanding that I believe we cant go it alone as we also have to engage the authorities to ensure that the school is maintained to a reasonable standard and to see where we can assist. Ex montibus robur! Brother M. Govha suggested: I have a suggestion to make..I think the only way the old students trust can be a viable entity is only if it can be financially stable cause we all have to admit money is what brings success to everything . Some of the ways i thought of was opening a web site for the trust of which advertising space can be sold to some of our old boys running businesses. membership can also be charged a fee which entitles a person to a years worth of membership. This would allow one to have access to printed or embroidered golf/polo shirts with the Shumba logo, regalia, yearbooks etc. I am willing to donate XXX into a prize pool to the person who will come up with the best possible innovative way which will allow the old boys trust to operate across borders and be viable: subject to the trusts approval. Brother Joel M offered: Thank you for posting updates on the MBHS speech day and launch of the old boys trust. As an Old Boy myself it is very encouraging to see this. My name is Joel M and I have launched a site called..,,. The site is all about publicity and I would like to post a front page feature on this historic moment.....We will credit it all to you. Please take a look at our site and let me know if this is possible. (END OF PART ONE)
