1. International Service Programme

Vietnam Dec 2009

The team will be leaving for Vietnam on 7th December! They will be painting an entire school as well as teaching English in the Thu Duc area.

Currently they are raising funds to defray the project cost which includes like the paint and equipment needed for the project!

Not everyone of us will be able to actively be there helping the people in Vietnam, but we can definitely help out with the fund-raising efforts! If anyone has any awesome ideas or want to just clip in, in one way or another, do contact Chee Hong!

Final Call to Join Y Camp Challenge

Y Camp Challenge is a bi-annual camp, designed for the intellectually and physically challenged. It brings together more than 100 youth and adult beneficiaries from various VWOs and special schools. Organized by YMCA of Singapore, the objective of Y Camp Challenge is to foster confidence, character and knowledge of participants through various series of challenges using rope, water and outdoor elements.

Outdoor adventures, high-element features and team building courses are the core components of Y Camp Challenge. Volunteers and beneficiaries alike will come to face their own fears, learn to trust each other and work cohesively.

You will find the application form attached which also contains more information regarding Y Camp.

I really cannot say how amazing and humbling the Y Camp experience is! You have to really experience it for yourself!

Applications closes this Sunday, 2nd Nov 2009! Do send in your applications to Shawn!

Anyhow just a few pictures to share, it's quite ironic, because just a few minute ago i was complaining to a friend about how infrequent and crowded 95 is. Well, we have our fair share of complains and unhappiness, but let's remember to be grateful and contented! I think we can agree that we are a really blessed bunch and we are empowered to make a difference!

Have an awesome week! And for those who are having exams or assignments to rush out, Jia You!

If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

If you think your salary is low, how about her?
