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.
