Project Cheer 2015: Closing Tea
21 Jul 2015
Over the March and June school holidays, Project Cheer sessions were conducted by 12 teams of ACJC student volunteers at eight children and elderly charities. The 180 students not only honed their project management and leadership skills but also forged new friendships with both young and old. The sessions commenced in the morning with the children and are joined by the seniors in the afternoon allowing for multi-generational bonding.
Concluding the programme for the year, TCTF hosted a Closing Tea on Tuesday, 21 July 2015, to thank the students and encourage their spirit of continued volunteerism. During the tea, the teams summed up their learning points gleaned from their experience. Team leader, Aegan Tan, shared how he learned to think on his feet and troubleshoot problems. His class won the top award by excelling in areas of resourcefulness, creativity, enthusiasm, crisis management and execution.
Participating charities included Care Community Services Society, CARE Singapore, Concern and Care Society, Fei Yue Community Services, Lakeside Family Services, Lions Befrienders Service Association, St. Luke’s ElderCare and Students Care Service.
