Bringing festive cheer to elderly folks<br />
Community Services<br />
Sub-Committee<br />
The Community Services Sub-Committee continues its efforts in promoting <strong>NUSS</strong> as<br />
a caring Society through active involvement in the community. Reaching out to the<br />
less privileged in Singapore and the region, the Sub-Committee spearheads events<br />
and progammes to engage <strong>NUSS</strong> members in charity work. The Sub-Committee’s<br />
aspiration is to create a culture of giving in <strong>NUSS</strong> and a spirit of volunteerism among<br />
its members.<br />
Festive charity events form the mainstay of the Sub-Committee’s community work.<br />
The annual Chinese New Year Festive Gathering for Senior Citizens in 2006 welcomed<br />
90 elderly folks from the Bukit Batok Home for The Aged, Henderson Senior Citizens’<br />
Home and SACO Senior Citizens’ Home.<br />
On Children’s Day, the Sub-Committee joined hands with the Lions Club<br />
to host a fun-filled party complete with games, goodie bags and even a<br />
magician for 350 eager young ones from Sunlove Marsiling and SINDA.<br />
<strong>NUSS</strong> members truly made Christmas a season of giving when they<br />
participated in the Sub-Committee’s ‘Adopt a Wish’ programme. They<br />
fulfilled the wishes of the children and elderly folks from Rotary Family<br />
Service Centre, Adventist Home for The Elders and Bo Tien Services<br />
Society and gave them a special and meaningful Christmas in 2006.<br />
Student Mentorship Programme (SMP)<br />
SMP is a collaboration between <strong>NUSS</strong>, NUS, South West Community<br />
Development Council and Students Care Service. The programme<br />
recruits NUS undergraduates to befriend and mentor secondary school students for<br />
a one-year cycle in a bid to create a youth-for-youth culture.<br />
To commemorate the end of the eighth cycle of SMP, <strong>NUSS</strong> hosted an Appreciation<br />
Night in September for the 272 participants.<br />
SMP is currently well into its ninth cycle.
