► Gosh! That was fun! I’m going up for 1 more try! Weeeee!
staging a very entertaining music and dance item. Trainees
brought home a goodie bag each to complete their fun-filled
Saturday!
By organizing the first-ever This-Sports Ability Carnival, SDSC
had achieved their aim of promoting integration and inclusion
between people with and without disabilities. MINDS is indeed
proud to have participated and contributed to this cause.
► Hee! Hee! Er..a bit higher can
► SMEDC clients waiting for their orders to be taken
► Pleased with the meal and service
As part of Project Dignity’s social mission, which is to provide
free lunches to disadvantaged people, 30 clients (with
open employment potential) from SIA-MINDS Employment
Development Centre (SMEDC) were selected to attend the
lunch session on 24 March 2011. These clients were asked
to place their orders be it Nasi Lemak, Vegetarian Chicken
Rice, Lontong or Mee Siam and a dessert from the stalls
operated by Project Dignity. While waiting for the food to be
served, a visually handicapped youth who runs the Malay food
stall with his single-parent mother entertained the clients by
demonstrating his ability to differentiate cash notes by using
his hands.
Not only was the outing a fun-filled one, it was also an
educationally enriching experience for our trainees. The staff
who attended the session also benefitted from the interactions
they had with the Project Dignity team. It was a truly engaging
session for all and we wish Project Dignity continual success!
