Goodies Bag Distribution @ Henderson CC on 20/7/13‏

Before I start with the activities for this week, below is an email from Mr Goh from CMH in response to Heartwarmers outing to Gardens By The Bay:

"Please convey our heartfelt thanks, on behalf of the residents who went for the outing, for the love and care shown by each and every one of the volunteers. You have put in so much time, effort and finances into organising this outing and making sure that all the residents are well taken care of. I was really encouraged to see at least one 3 generation family volunteering together.

I saw some of the volunteers connecting very well with the resident under their care, directing his / her attention to the colours of the flowers, and other highlights along the way. One of the volunteers took out her own jacket to cover a resident, when she realise that she was still feeling cold even under the CMH sweater. Another went to buy a packet of curry chicken for one of our staff when he found out that she does not take pork. I am sure that there were many personal touches that I did not notice, but all these went to make the outing so much more memorable for our residents."

Thank you Mr Goh for the message, our heartfelt thanks goes out to CMH and its staff as well for the support given to us throughout our time at CMH.
Lets all work together to bring more care and love to the beneficiaries at CMH.

Purpose: The purpose of having this event is to provide Goodies to the needy for Hari Raya. Distribution will be carried out by the various VWO and SCB volunteers.

For this event, we have manage to engage the help of SP students to assist with the manual work of loading goodies bag onto VWO's and SCB volunteers' vehicles.

However, there are still alot of help required with
1) Carpark management (at least 4 volunteers)
2) Henderson CC main gate control (1-2 volunteers)
3) Usher (2 volunteers)
4) Ang Bao Counting Room (4-5 volunteers)
5) Goodies bag distribution (at least 2 volunteers)
If you are free to join us for this event, please do inform us by Thursday, so that we can assign a role to you before the event.

In addition, the packing of goodies bag will be carried out on Friday 19/7/13, if you are free and will like to take a look of how it is like, feel free to come down on Friday from 0930 to late afternoon.

Have a lovely week and may your days be filled with overflowing blessing. See you on Saturday!!
