Bag O Sunshine (Part VII)

Bag O Sunshine - Distribution of Food Packages to Kebun Baru Needy Residents

Date: 14 August 2010
Time: 9am to 12.30pm























The Kebun Baru YEC, in partnership with students from Hwa Chong Institution, gave out food packages to needy residents in Kebun Baru (i.e. 52 PA recipients in the various zones) on 14 August 2010. Letters were sent to PA recipients prior to the event to inform them of the food package distribution. The food package contains, among other things, rice, soap, instant noodles, sugar, canned food.

About 50-60 volunteers from YEC, Mayflower Secondary and Hwa Chong were involved in making this event a success. At each home, the volunteers talked to the residents and find out more about their needs, any problems they faced, their living conditions etc. Their findings and feedback gathered from the informal chat with the families will then be collated subsequently after the event.

The GOH for the event was our adviser, Mr Inderjit Singh. Mr Singh visited a few homes to speak with the PA recipient and their families.

The YEC sincerely thanks all the volunteers and sponsors who have made this event possible!

Background to Bag O Sunshine:
This is a series of community service projects spearheaded by the KBCC YEC and carried out on a quarterly basis. This year, the Bag O Sunshine is once again distributing food items to the needy residents and hope that we can, in our own small way, bring a little sunshine to their lives.
