wellness and encourage the values and practice of
gratitude, compassion and altruism.
The paintings were donatedby studentsat our regular
Art Jamming activity and the Jigsaw artwork comprised

power of togetherness as
donors came forward to
either bid for the items or

each of us can contribute

Live toGive
Between 7 and 8 November 2015, Event Management &
Roadshow (EMRS) students from Nanyang Polytechnic held a
roadshow at the school selling snacks andmerchandise to raise
$1,797.95 insupport of childrenwithcancer.CCFwasour choice
beneficiary as the students felt that it was important to help
children suffering from this life threatening illness. Organising
the roadshow fundraiser was a particularly meaningful initiative
as it taught the students event management skills and it helped
to inculcate a sense of
social responsibility in staff
and students alike. It was
gratifying to realise that the
littleeffortweexpensedwould
bring comfort to children with
cancer and their families.
We are glad to be part of the
community that supportsCCF
beneficiaries and hope to
continue contributing in our
littleways.
