Community Outreach Events
Engagement Session with Clients @ IMH
For CO's latest event, our student volunteers had the opportunity to visit IMH's Sunrise Wing and the OcTAVE Outpatient Rehabilitation Centre to interact with the adolescents and seniors at IMH. Together, we celebrated our national holiday with Singapore-themed carnival games like 'Bingo - Hawker Food edition' and craft activities. Both the clients and our volunteers thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as evident from the smiles and laughter during the event itself.
Renci AMK SCC Volunteer Outreach (2023)
This year, we celebrated Hari Raya at Ren Ci’s Senior Care Centre with festive Arts & Craft projects. With the help of the student volunteers and therapy assistants, the elderly enjoyed painting and making their loved ones ribbon ketupats and Hari Raya greeting cards. This was the first event after COVID restrictions eased, so many student volunteers got to facilitate group sessions in person with real clients for the first time.
Engagement Session with Students @ Rainbow Centre (2023)
Our student volunteers and the students from Rainbow Centre's Out-Of-School-Hours (OOSH) program explored making sandwich art together and worked as a team to navigate the school compound looking for ‘treasures' during the treasure hunt. These sessions served as good socialization opportunities for the students at RC and were an eye-opening and humbling experience for our student volunteers.
