On April 1, we attended the first day’s service
training program in Singapore Zoo together with NTU students. We were divided into many groups, and our
group trainer is Bobbie. She is very
experienced and really taught us a lot.
After one day’s training, I realized the importance of making plans
before taking actions. And I also
learned some special methods in making plans.
Besides, we also took this chance to tour in the zoo for free. It is wonderful.
On April 8, we took the second class of our program in
Singapore Sports School for half a day.
I was amazed at the two big swimming pools in that school. I couldn’t believe that a middle school
should have so good facilities. This
time I learned how to make schedules and what is team work. We made our plan and schedule together and
decided to raise some money to help with homeless children the next day.
Today, April 9, we began our honor job. We stood in front of the Engineering Canteen
in NUS, holding the poster, donation box and board we made last night in order
to raise some money. We were amazed that
so many people are willing to donate money to us. At last, we collected 240 dollars in one
noon. Initially, we had just planned to
get 85 dollars in ten days. After
knowing the result, I understood the meaning of sense of achievement.
This Service Program is really meaningful and gave me
so many new experiences. I believe we
will experience more in the next two month.
I think our service training is a little bit too easy but actually I learnt a lot about planning, conducting and team work through the group discussions. And what's more, I experienced the true sense of "tea break".
ReplyDeleteAs for the money collecting, I have discussed with our training group tutor about this. At first I was told that we would meet maybe 300 orphans and the funds should be more than 3000 thousand dollar. Therefore, I intended to collect money from big companies in Singapore like DBS and Singtel and I even decided to design the plans that night. While, after knowing we are likely to meet only a small group of children, I found that it is better to raise money from school. I think Wuyu's job is quite difficult considering he is not a girl and not as charming as you(^_^), so we will help him to collect the money. Ha! You did a good job!
Shuzhi said we may do the service programme together. I'm looking forward to it~ By the way, if you did the job of collecting money, it would be more successful, because you are so charming. Haha~
DeleteIt was really a fantastic journey to learn the skills about service. Our group is also going to carry out the donation soon. I will treasure the experience.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's wonderful! Hope you can also raise enough money~

ReplyDeleteI also want to do the same thing but the permission has not been given to me. So you may see me stand at XX canteen someday. I hope I can get the same achievements as you.
Good luck to you!
DeleteYou have raised so much money. So successful. I wish you will enjoy what you serve with the help of my donation, even though that is a little. I have not started my give program. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's really worth memorising! We will surely use all the money on those poor kids. We will help them heart and soul.
