<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 />

Teacher’s Day - Hand-painted flower pots were<br />

meticulously made to show parents’ deep appreciation<br />

to our Teachers.<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 />
