Project Give Presentation Ceremony

13 September 2009

Needy residents residing in Eunos Division of Aljunied GRC received some financial assistance today. Project Give has helped many needy families tide over the economic downturn.

Early this year, grassroots leaders, YEC members and Bedok North Secondary School students did a house-to-house collection of can food. They wrapped them into food hampers for needy families.

In this round of Project Give, the families received NTUC vouchers from Mr Zainul Abidin Rasheed, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and MP for Aljunied GRC. It was touching to see how the glow of smile appeared on the faces of the recipients. It was particularly touching to me to see some of them smiling because I have met them at the Meet-the-People Session and learnt about their financial conditions.

Besides the presentation ceremony, everyone also enjoyed dinner and a whole night of entertaining performances.

I feel proud to be able to contribute as a grassroots leader, to improve the lives of others staying in my neighbourhood.
