Today was the day of the national day celebrations in school. To let us reach out to help the less fortunate, this year's national dat theme, the school has orgainised a CIP event for us, which is newspaper colection at Taman Juring. Thre funds colected from the sale of the newspaper will be used to help organise a camp for underprivileged children in the Taman Jurong Constituency.
Early this morning, after the wonderful display by other fellow schoolmates, we set off towards our destination, almost leaving some of our classmates behind:P I was put in to Timothy Ling's group and we were allocated block 151. With only 6 floors and 76 units, we finished in under an hour and had to wait for the other groups.
From this newspaper collection CIP, I learnt that as Singaporeans, we must give a helping hand to the needy and less fortunate. Although I had met with some residents who were reluctant to work with us, it was a pleasure to be able collect the newspapers and old clothes. Some residents very willingly handed us stacks of newspapers, while some others had left them outside their home for us to collect. It was heart-warming to see that Singaporeans are so wllingly to help.
Although it was tiring having to carry the newspapers and the clothes, I had gained a valuable lesson from this CIP event.
I would like to wish everyone a happy national day. HAPPY 44TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!! :D
