AWWA Sibling Camp

"AWWA Sibling Camp has left me a deep impression because it was my very first camp with smaller children. Although the number of participants is small, but it wasn't any less fun than what any camp would be. We did planning of games and fortunately everything turned out well. We got to know more about the children from AWWA although the participants were their siblings. Despite being different from us, their siblings love and dote on them even though some may have difficulty communicating with them. We also learn about the different organisations that these unique children can go to after leaving AWWA. It was an eye-opener and it did help me in understanding more about the less fortunate." - Toh Zu Mei

"The camp was definitely a very enriching experience for us, as it allowed us to interact with the siblings of the children from AWWA, through various games and activities that we have planned. Through the camp, we were able to interact better with the siblings, and were able to see their love and care for their siblings. Also, we were able to better understand their feelings towards their siblings from AWWA. I feel that the camp has fufiled the main objectives to allow these siblings to break barriers by knowing that they are not alone, and that they too, have the network to help their siblings from AWWA into the near future. I'm glad that we have brought much fun and joy to the siblings, and that they appreciate our presence there. It has brought me a strong sense of satisfaction and has allowed me to better understand the needs of the children from AWWA and their siblings." - Valerie

First Lego League

On 11th January, some of our CCC members volunteered for the First Lego League, organised by Heartware Network. We took up roles as facilitators, timekeepers, judges assistant as well as referees in the event. This year the theme is Climate Connections, which requires participants to present their innovative solutions to the environmental problems. Below are some pictures taken during the event.

We high-fived with the participants!

Coming up in the next post will be our Chinese New Year concert at Ling Kwang Home! Do check out the blog to see what we are going to do there! Cheers! (:

Open House

On 9th January, the college had an open house to allow O Level graduates get to know what our college have got to offer. And of course, CCA plays a major role in deciding if the college is suitable for them... As you scroll down, you can see snapshots of our booth and the activities lined-up for the O Level graduates who visited the college.

Meaningful activities during the holidays!

Our CCC members dedicated their holidays to the community, even during their holidays! Giving to the community does not only limit to school or CCA time. Let's check out what they have done!

AWWA sibling camp - 4th to 5th Dec 2008.

"During the sibling camp, I felt delighted as we get to interact with the children. Moreover, as I am the youngest in my family, I had this opportunity to look after the children like an elder brother/sister during the camp. The children were very active and handling them was not easy. This camp was a fulfilling and meaningful one although all of us were tired after the camp."- Jolene

"Through this camp, I learnt how to be patient and how to communicate with children. Interacting with them was quite fun and the trips to Society of the Physically Disabled (SPD) and Healthzone were enriching. The children were quite easy to get along with. This is a very fun camp and I enjoyed it."- Serene

Wow! I am sure Jolene and Serene as well as the rest of the CCC members like Ching Fang, Yee Hui, Sean, Jian Hong, Jean Wen and Esther who facilitated the sibling camp have enjoyed their experience too! Maybe you can get them to share their wonderful and exciting experiences with you!!
