• It was a happy 3rd anniversary for SLC as its members, volunteers and facilitators gathered to celebrate
• Food was the highlight of the celebration, but the social games that followed were just as well received
• All members had the opportunity to practise their social and team work skills to get the celebration going – from seeking cash contributions, food preparation, setting up and cleaning up party venue to enjoying food and games
• All in, a fruitful, happy and satisfying event

• To cultivate the important value of giving back, SLC leaders initiated 2 community projects
• Inaugural community project was organised - PeaceConnect Neighbourhood Link, a day centre for older and elderly people
  • Project involved cleaning and housekeeping the centre
  • 50 senior citizens were treated to lunch and received goodie bags
  • Members raised money to fund this initiative - to meet costs of lunch, goodie bags and cleaning supplies
  • Members also helped with making purchases and packing the goodie bags
  • Members had the opportunity to eat lunch and socialise with the senior citizens
• The second community project - Clean up Bishan Park - aims to inculcate the habit of cleanliness and appreciation for a “Clean and Green Singapore”
  • Members learnt the proper technique of picking up litter using the correct tools
  • Members practised safe and hygienic ways of picking up litter as they clean up Bishan Park

Various new activities were made possible by collaborations with partners:

• SAFRA Yishun Community Club: Boulder/rock climbing and obstacle course
• NUS College of Alice & Peter: Tour, games and lunch
• Home United Football Club: Visit and tour
• Community Service Marathon 2013: Participated in sandcastle building event

Since joining the SLC, I observed Rachel to be a happier person. Apart from the school she attends, she obviously have expanded her perspective in life as she socializes & participates in activities with a larger community of friends & volunteers.

The physical activities help her to be alert & improved her situation awareness. She looks forward to attend every weekend. A testament of the programme's success. As parents, we give our compliments & whole hearted appreciation to the SLC team for continuing to scale new heights & enlarge the number of members. Thank you.
