14,000 VOLUNTEERS RESPONDED TO NORTH WEST CDC’S CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

131 North West Volunteers and Partners win Accolade at the North West Volunteers’ Award 2018 ______

Last year, North West CDC has initiated a recruitment call of 10,000 volunteers within the next five years to build up community programmes within the district. Within a year, North West CDC received an overwhelming response of 14,000 volunteers participating in our activities. In line with North West CDC advocacy of a Green North West Community, 2017 saw over 8,000 volunteers participating in our green initiatives, the highest volunteer involvement among all our programmes.

2 Of which, 4,000 volunteers took part in our Reduce @ North West to raise awareness on reducing water and energy wastage through house visits. Collectively with other schools, the programme saved up to 88,400kWh energy, equivalent to power up 340 three-room flats for a month.

1 3 To recognise and celebrate the dedication and commitment of our volunteers from 5 categories, including, North West We Care Awards, North West Healthy Living Champion Award, North West Outstanding All Rounder Student Award, North West Outstanding School Partners Award and People’s Association Community Award, the North West Volunteers’ Awards 2018 will be held on 17 March 2018 at Nanyang Polytechnic Auditorium. 131 recipients will be receiving awards on that day. Media arrival is at 6.15pm.

4 Hosted by Dr , Mayor of North West District, the event will be graced by Guest-Of-Honour, Ms , Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry and Grassroots Adviser to Bukit Timah GROs.

5 Dr Teo Ho Pin, Mayor of North West District, says, “We are heartened to receive an overwhelming response from our volunteers within a short span of time. This year, in line with the Singapore’s Year of Climate Action, we would like to call out for more volunteers to be part of our Green movement to raise awareness among our residents about climate change and to educate them on ways we can combat climate change as one. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our volunteers and we hope to continue inspiring more volunteers to come on board to co-create or spearhead more projects for the North West Community.”

6 Christ Church Secondary School is one of the active partners for Reduce @ North West. In 2017, over 230 students have stepped forward to help garner close to 350 sign-ups for energy and water audits. Mdm Rajeswari Sinkaram, the teacher-in-charge of Values in Action (Lower Secondary) mentioned, “The objective of Reduce @ North West aligns with our school’s believe in the 3Rs. While students do learn from our environmental modules in school, hands-on activities such as this initiative brings learning into a higher level. Everyone has a role to play in sustaining the environment and we hope that through this activity, it will be a stepping stone for students to be eco-advocates in their own homes too.”

NORTH WEST WE CARE AWARD HUMAN INTEREST STORY MDM SALLY NEO CHAI CHUI 64 YEAR-OLD GAMBAS DIVISION

For many, the word volunteering brings images of long hours doing an activity that might take too much time from our own daily lives. But for Mdm Sally, volunteering means to live and contribute with a purpose.

While most of us are concerned about the time spent, she is more inclined to learn how she can make a difference in the community. Despite losing her physical mobility to cancer, this was no excuse to live her life meaningfully.

Her voluntary journey started when she heard a church was looking for a good cook who is willing to spend some time on a weekly basis to cook for the beneficiaries at Singapore Anglican Community Services. An avid cook, Mdm Sally saw this as an opportunity for her to put her culinary skills to good use.

Today, every alternate Thursdays Mdm Sally whips out her wok and saddle with a goal in mind. While the weekly lunch might seem like a menial event to others, it is the highlight of the Singapore Anglican Community Services beneficiaries. Thursday's meal is always a special lunch prepared with the hard and the heart work of Mdm Sally. Her work doesn't stop there; the freelance tutor spent time befriending the beneficiaries who are recovering from mental illness.

Her commitment and dedication inspired others around her and she leverage this to encourage others to volunteer too. When asked about why she dedicated her time she said, " I did it simply because it was fulfilling. I might not be as physically fit as others but I know I have other set of skills that could make a difference to them. It's all about putting your heart into volunteering."

7 NORTH WEST WE CARE AWARD HUMAN INTEREST STORY MR SYAZANI JASMAN 21 YEAR-OLD MARSILING-YEW TEE DIVISION

As the quote goes, “The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates but the great teacher inspires.” For Syazani Jasman, this rang true as it was his teacher who inspired his voluntary journey at Fei Yue Family Community Service.

During his last year of Secondary School, Syazani struggled with his Math subject but his Math teacher did not give up on him. Together with other classmates, she dedicated time after school to revise the weaker components with them.. And indeed it worked on Syazani, his resulted boosted from a Grade 4 to Grade 1. His teacher’s dedication made a mark on his life he said, “That was when I realised that I wanted to do the same to another student. Mentoring goes beyond teaching and I want to make a difference.”

His first foray into mentoring and voluteerism started during his first year in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. When he learnt of the BP-NP mentoring club, Syazani immediately signed up for the club and his first students were from Fei Yue Family Service Centre at Chua Chu Kang. Today, while he awaits his graduation day Syazani is still actively involved with the tutoring session. He sets aside 90 minutes weekly sessions with the students and rarely misses his sessions. While the journey was fun and fulfilling, it did not come without challenges. There are times when there were lesser tutors around and he has to take in more students who were difficult to manage. In times like this, Syazani kept a stable mind and focused on the task on hand.

He mentioned, “The students are my motivation. After many sessions together, you create a bond with them and when this happens, they will listen to you and learn better from you. You feel like they are your own family members.” Syazani believed that his volunteering experience not only made an impact to others, it was a journey of self-discovery. “I was once an introvert who was too shy to mingle, but I managed to overcome that when I stepped in to help others, I’ve learnt to socialise. It takes many hands to help the students and I’m glad that my part makes a difference to their lives.”

NORTH WEST WE CARE AWARD HUMAN INTEREST STORY TZU CHI ORGANISATION (SINGAPORE)

For strong 5 years, Tzu Chi Organisation (Singapore) has been a dedicated North West CDC partner. Tzu Chi Organisation (Singapore)champions a holistic eco-living and embrace 5Rs which stands for Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle. Tzu Chi Organisation worked hand in hand with North West CDC to manage the 22 active Recycle @ North West recycling points across the district.

At the Recycle @ North West recycling points, Tzu Chi Organisation’s volunteers promotes eco-awareness with residents while sharing their knowledge on recycling to help them better understand how to minimise waste and maximise the longevity of the items they have on hand.

Besides their continuous efforts at the recycling points, Tzu Chi Organisation’s volunteers consistently trains new North West CDC volunteers on how to manage the recycling points and be better prepared to engage residents.

The passion to increase eco-awareness among residents across 22 of the active Recycle @ North West recycling points has helped to collect 400kg of recyclables to date. This success demonstrates how we could tap on other organisation’s expertise to benefit the community as a whole. Tzu Chi Organisation (Singapore) hopes that more residents can practice and inculcate Eco-friendly habits in their lifestyles.

9 NORTH WEST HEALTHY LIVING CHAMPION HUMAN INTEREST STORY MS EVELINE LING SUOK CHIN 37 YEAR-OLD HOLLAND- BUKIT TIMAH DIVISION

For 37 year-old Ms Eveline Ling Suok Chin, her first experience of Dance-Fit Club was in 2009, when she decided to accompany her parents to a session. Something which initially started as a try-out turned out to be something bigger for her. While grooving with the class, Eveline found herself to be quite a dancer and she tremendously enjoyed the session. Eveline has always been musically inclined but prior to this, her dance experience was limited to the ballet lessons her mother has sent her when she was four thus, discovering her talent in the class was a delightful surprise. She said, “I’ve never knew it would be something that I’m good at, but I picked up and polished my skills along the way.”

This spurred her to attend more sessions and her ability to move and teach others was noticed by other members who encouraged her to take the next step as a Master. Her natural talent shone throughout the 9 years she has been with Dance-Fit Club and just last year; she was tasked to set up the first Malay Dance-Fit Club to encourage more Malays to be part of this groovy movement. It proved to be a difficult task as it takes time to recruit new members and get them used to the weekly routine.

However, her proficiency in conversational Malay was a handy skill on hand. While the songs might be unfamiliar to them, teaching them in Malay and bonding with them after the sessions create a bond which sewed the gap between Eveline and the new members. In order to make the Club more inclusive and engaging, Eveline plans to update the Dance-Fit manual, a manual which currently lists 100 songs for the Dance-Fit clubs nationwide to include more Malay songs. As a Healthy Living Champion she mentioned, “It’s about how you use the language to bridge the gap, just by counting in Malay helps them to follow the steps faster.”
