Text and photos by Desiree Lim<br />
<strong>MINDS</strong> MYG (formerly known as <strong>MINDS</strong> Youth Group) held its annual Family<br />
Day on 13 March <strong>2010</strong> at Fernvale Gardens School. Mr Laurence Lien, CEO<br />
of NVPC, graced the event as the Guest of Honour.<br />
More than 200 trainees and caregivers attended the event which was packed<br />
with games, performances and carnival activities. The event theme was<br />
Celebrating Volunteerism and was planned and executed by more than 60<br />
<strong>MINDS</strong> MYG volunteers.<br />
The event also marked the launch of a <strong>MINDS</strong> MYG coffee table book,<br />
Simply Serve (right), which documents the personal stories and inspirations<br />
of 50 dedicated volunteers, 27 caregivers and parents, and three<br />
beneficiaries. The book also commemorates <strong>MINDS</strong> MYG’s journey through<br />
the past 38 years of “Serving Persons with Intellectual Disability”. The<br />
publication is made possible by Dr Lee Kum Tatt and his family.<br />
