December Community Service Event

Dear all,

Christina, Yu Jen and I discussed the "December event" for CSLMCH briefly this evening. Here's the rough idea:

Purpose: Involve the children in community service to let them know that they are not too young to contribute to the community.

Activity: Distribute bread (or something else) to old folks living in one-room flats; do household chores for them and/ or chat with them.

Date: 28 December, Friday

Our initial idea was to have the children bake something to be distributed to the old folks, but that will be too much activity in a day. It's also quite difficult for us to bake enough for distribution. We can't guarantee that what is baked is safe for consumption too.

We are thinking of limiting participation to the "Say it Out" students, i.e. children in Primary 5 and above.

Each child should be attached to a volunteer. From our last December event, we can expect to have around 18 volunteers. So around 18 to 36 children can be involved, assuming each volunteer takes care of one or two children.

If each team of volunteer and children visits 6 old folks on that day, we can reach around 108 old folks (one HDB flat?).

What do you guys think?
