Get Ready for JC1 Service Learning (SL) Day 2016

Hi JC1s!

SL Day has been a college-wide program since 2004 And this year, it will be held on 8th August 2016, in conjunction with National Day, at Kim Seng CC!

This service learning (SL) day, we Saints will be able to make a difference in the lives of elderly in the Kim Seng community by offering them our time, companionship, friendship and respect.
We will have a chance to
- be Community Builders who actively take actions to enrich the lives of the elderly and strengthen the relationship of Saints with the Kim Seng community
- work together with our fellow Saints with a sense of oneness and Unity while serving the elderly.

-  extend a hand of friendship with Empathy to the elderly staying in Kim Seng community.

Many of these elderly live alone with little to no attention from their family. With many of them dealing with personal health issues (diabetes, high cholesterol, immobile etc.), they often find it a challenge to carry out household activities like cleaning and cooking. These elderly then seek companionship with their friendly neighbours and student volunteers, enthusiastically sharing about their life in the past.

This year’s project is called Silver Friends, whereby the elderly involved will be treated to a performance, and thereafter they will join in the fun at the carnival—all these will be organised and executed by us, Saints! Classes will be allocated to put up either a performance, or set up a games booth for the carnival!

The performance can include singing, a simple dance performance, or anything interesting that can engage the elderly! Take into consideration the genre of music and performances that will appeal to the elderly

The carnival would be interactive games or activities catered to the elderly, example bingo, throwback games, informative booths, art and craft, photo booths, etc. Do note that NO food booths are allowed. Do also take into consideration the agility of the elderly when planning the activities.

JC1 SL day 2016 will be an enriching experience in which we can all interact with the elderly and bring smiles to their faces :D We hope to have your enthusiasm and active participation in this event!

SL reps/class reps, please submit an idea for either a performance or carnival booth by 20th May, Friday via https://dropitto.me/sajc2016jc1sldayp. (upload password: sldayproposal (no caps)). You can download the templates via the links shared below:
