<strong>MINDS</strong> CSG<br />
FGS initiated the assembly of paper bags as a social<br />
enterprise project to provide a possible work opportunity<br />
for adults with intellectual disability.<br />

<strong>MINDS</strong> CSG@TGS<br />
Parents played their part at the TGS Activity Day on<br />
24 September <strong>2009</strong> to teach students on recycling.<br />
Empty aluminum cans were collected, and filled with<br />
green beans, the openings sealed with masking tape<br />
and converted to delightful musical instruments that<br />
the students joyfully danced to. Some teachers and<br />
volunteers from the Paya Lebar Air Base joined in the<br />
dance to the great delight of the students.<br />

<strong>MINDS</strong> Shop@Napiri was officially opened on 15<br />
August <strong>2009</strong>. The thrift shop is fully managed by<br />
volunteer parents for the purpose of creating new<br />
work-related training opportunities for adult clients<br />
from Napiri TDC.<br />
It is also a meeting place for parents and caregivers to<br />
come together thus promoting bonding and mutual<br />
support. Fellow caregivers are welcomed to volunteer<br />
their time at the thrift shop, or to drop by and enjoy<br />
great bargains or just browse and bond with fellow<br />
caregivers.<br />
