Charity first visit of the year.

Date: 29 Jan 2011
Location: Sunbeam Place

Charitizens gathered at NTU for their first visit of the year to Sunbeam Place.

The first activity we had was T-shirt painting for the children. They were each given a shirt to design and paint in any ways they like, but they were encouraged by Charitizens to paint their dreams. We see children painted the sky, jersey, some even painted their name. The volunteers also assisted the children with their design and they also had lots of fun.

Next up, the hungry children were treated to some snacks. The only catch - they have to make the snack themselves. We brought breads, hotdogs, vegetables, cheese, mayonaise and tomato sauce. They were really excited to be making their own food so once they put on their glove, they immediately took the bread and ingredient and started working on it.

In conjunction with Chinese New Year, our last activity was for the children to make Chinese New Year Decorations using Red Packets. Many of them decided to make fishes, while some decided to be more adventurous and make decorations that are bigger, like the chinese coin and the figure 8. The children were really good at it. It was really enjoyable to be doing crafts with them.

It was a fun and enjoyable day for both the children and volunteers, and we definitely look forward to returning there.
