This is an Unit Comm Care to primary school going children in 10 Sep 2003 through an act of the cruxification of Christ. Haa.. I almost can't remember that Rachel and Michael used to me in the same Unit as me! How time flies..
Yup! Yet another Joy Factory outreach to very young children on 19 Jun 2004. Hee.. It was held at ITE. Ironically, I do not have photos of my CG. We set up 2 stalls - Henna Drawing and Body Art.
This is an Unit level comm care outreach together with Care Community Services Society on 28 Aug 2004. For this event, the theme was "I can do it!". We taught the kids on how to make a kite from scratch. We broke into small groups and we had facilitators to help the children. I remember some of them wanting to give up but we kept urging them to keep it up! At the end of it, they really had fun flying the kite that they made! Something that's personalized is valuable.
25 Sep 2004.. This is a great challenge! Rememeber that the boys were really rowdy and as a games master, my friend and I really had quite a tough time trying to keep them engaged. The theme was "Teamwork and Unity". Coming up with the games was easy, executing it was hard. Facilitating the group teaching them values is even harder! At the end of this session, when I reflected, I felt that when one is alone, he is weak. But when one chooses to work together in a team, the result is powerful!
Yup.. This is Joy Factory Outreach at Covenent FSC on 25 June 2005. Heee.. That's me doing body art aka face painting. I had quite alot of fun doing it - taking a break from henna drawing. Hmm.. When I was there, I recalled this particular kid (the one that I was drawing her face) came up to me and said a small "thank you". After one whole afternoon, I must say that soft voice of her warmed my heart totally.
Joy Factory Outreach at Hougang on 15 Oct 2005. This was held at the public multi-purpose hall in between two HDB buildings. For this event, I can't quite remember the kids that came but I remember that we had a VIP!! Hmm.. I can't remember who was it though but it was a MP!! Hee...
Right.. Finally I've reached year 2006! This was my CG at Zann's house watching a cartoon - Robots. Our intention was to use this cartoon to share values to the students from Punggol Primary School.
A view of the school. Before the event started, my friends and I were in awe at how beautiful schools are now.
Hmm... In all honesty, after 3 years of Comm Care, I felt that yesterday's event THE event that left me feeling totally... (what's that word?)... Ecstatic! =) I could finally feel that we left behind values that the students can bring home. They left feeling happy. They left having fun! And as "Aunty" and "Uncle", we had GREAT fun too! If I can speak for the rest, we REALLY had a great time interacting with the kids. And amazingly, they responded! We played a game that I learnt at work (heehee..), then we had a telematch, and a movie that I tried to instill values, we sang "I believe I can fly" with sign language. It was enjoyable watching them learn the new language. The students competed against each other to see whose paper aeroplane flew the furthest. We ended off with having their palm with water-colour pressed on paper topping it off with a polaroid photo.
And oh ya.. Guess what? My CG didn't know that their school uniform was yellow and blue, my CG arranged for us all to wear YELLOW!! When I was MCing, I couldn't differentiate my CG members from the students!!!
All righty.. Time to reflect on today's service.
