Project Melodies from the Heart

Project Melodies from the Heart is an initiation from a group of AJC alumni who share a common slogan: We are a part, not apart.

In this coming June 2011, with the support of AJCAA and Youth Expedition Project (YEP), this group of youth volunteers will be heading down to Malang, Indonesia to do voluntary work. They will be heading down to a Voluntary Welfare Organization, known as Yayasan Bhakti Luhur (YBL), and will be helping the unfortunate children over there. Other than introducing science experiments to the children, they are also intending to organize a sports day! Rather than organizing one for the mainstream children, they decided to take up the challenge and plan one for the disabled children, mainly visually impaired, and mobility disabled. In addition, they are also building a library cum resource room for the children and volunteers over in YBL, with the aim of improving the lives of the children by doing every little bit they can contribute.

However, the estimated cost for fulfilling this very meaningful service learning project may amount to around $8000 for this whole team of youth with financial constraints. Hence, we would like to appeal to all alumni out there to lend a helping hand to this dedicated project team. We can assure all alumni memhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifbers that every single cent donated will be solely spent on voluntary purposes, and will definitely greatly benefit the children over in YBL! All money donated will be spent on organizing of the sports day such as purchasing of the sports equipment, as well as for the experiments and building of a library.

For all interested donors, be it monetary or material donations, please feel free to email to projectmh2011@gmail.com for more details.

Non Mihi Solum!

Anderson Junior College Family Day Carnival raises nearly $50,000 for charity

Anderson Junior College successfully held a joint Family Day Carnival cum Community Involvement Project on Saturday 2 April from 9am to 3pm. The theme of the event was 'AJ Family Fiesta — Community in Hand, Achieving in Tandem'. The theme celebrates the spirit of giving, and inspires AJCians to recognize the values of being connected with and contributing to the community.

The Guest of Honour for the event was Mr Seng Han Thong, then-MP for Yio Chu Kang and Patron of AJCAA.

A total of nearly $50,000 was raised from the event. All proceeds will be donated to the college's long-term partner, Asian Women's Welfare Association (AWWA), which provides a range of services to underprivileged families, senior citizens and children with disabilities. The funds raised will be used to refurbish AWWA's Seniors Activity Centre in Ang Mo Kio and to purchase materials for their Resource Centre, which serves children with special needs from the AWWA School. The groups were also present at the event.

As an added effort to raise funds, students from the Red Cross Humanitarian Network (a college CCA) organized a record-breaking activity, 'Thousand Hearts, One Love'. Through the sale of paper hearts, AJC created the largest logo made ouhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gift of heart-shaped notes in the Singapore Book of Records, measuring 6m by 2m. The logo will be presented to AWWA as a memento from AJC. A representative from the Singapore Book of Records was present to witness the unveiling of the logo, and to accredit the feat.
