“With Cheer, We Bond”. This is the ethos that has held up the spirit of Project Cheer since its beginning. In this year’s edition of Project Cheer, we had 230 ACJC youths put their Values In Action by planning and facilitating 11 Project Cheer sessions and engaging 300 children and 400 elderly beneficiaries from 28 May to 14 June 2018.
The Tan Chin Tuan Foundation was privileged to co-host the Project Cheer Closing Tea on 30 July 2018 with Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC). During the tea reception, student leaders discussed their programme planning and leadership experience in a short sharing session facilitated by Mr Mervyn Sek, ACJC HOD (Project Work & Values In Action). Of the 11 teams, 3 teams namely 2SC1, 2AH and OCIP Chiangmai, were recognised for their good planning, execution and achieving multi-generational bonding in their Project Cheer sessions. In addition, 4 charity centres were also acknowledged as our best partnering charities in Project Cheer 2018.
