Envelopes of Love @ NP CYA Launch

Earlier this evening, Razali gave an passionate presentation at Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Compassionate Youth in Action (CYA) launch ceremony. This event coincided with the end of the current school semester, following which the students will enjoy 7 weeks of holidays.

With the goal of 1 card a week for the students from the Psychology & Community Services (PCS) and Business and Social Enterprise (BZSE), we hope that through the combined efforts of all the students, we would be able to collect 1000 cards from the students of NP.

We wish to thank the School of Humanities, especially Ms Janice, Ms Emily and Mrs Joyce for providing us with the opportunity to carry out the project in Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Of course, this presentation would not possible without the help of his friends, PeiQi, LiQin and a volunteer from the Chinese Studies (CHS), Hwee Yin.

裕廊初级学院 JJC Presentation

On the 7th of August 2008, at 9.30pm, the members of the Envelopes of Love committee gathered at Jurong Junior College to conduct a sharing session with about 200 student leaders regarding our project. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the college, especially Mr. Ng, for their co-operation and encouragement, in giving us the chance to carry out this sharing.

2008年 8月7日,傍晚9点30分,我们《捎封爱》计划的主要成员聚集在裕廊初级学院,很荣幸能与200名学生领袖分享我们的活动。感谢校方及黄老师的极力配合和鼓励,提供了如此千载难逢的机会,以致此发表能顺利进行。

Being able to work with juniors from our Alma mater, expanded our area of operations in helping the children of Sichuan. The committee members of Envelopes of Love not only feels a sense of gratitude from this, but found new enthusiasm , surrounded my a group of youthful and enthusiastic youths. Let us display our creativity and sense of compassion, overcome our own limits, to add value for self and the children of Sichuan, showing that selfless love once again.

能与母校的学弟学妹们一齐合作,扩大我们的势力及范围,齐心协力帮助四川的孩童,不仅让我们《捎封爱》成员深表感激,也被那一群洋溢着青春气息,魄力实足的高中生给深深地感染。让我们发挥青年们应具备的创意和恻隐之心,突破自己的极限,为自己和四川孩童的人生创造更多的价值,再次分享那无私宏伟的爱。

Razali is a non-Chinese member of the committee. He is Malay by race. The envelopes for love committee promotes the Singapore spirit of racial harmony. We are not limited by, race, language or religion, each contributing his own small part, to send our sincerest well wishes to the children.

上图左边第一位男生是我们成员当中其一的非华族同胞,是新加坡四大种族中属于马来族的朋友。我们《捎封爱》计划提倡新加坡种族和谐的精神,不受种族,种教与语言的限制,大家各自发挥创意,献上自己绵薄的力量,为这些孩童送上最诚心的祝福。

The photo above shows a member of our finance committee, Cheng Kai , presenting our project. When the 512 earthquake occurred, Cheng Kai was in Beijing on a student exchange programme. Witnessing first hand, the strength and unity of the Chinese people and a series of of heart warming incidents in the disaster area, motivated Cheng kai to join the envelopes of love committee. That night, Cheng Kai not only shared the pictures that he took in China but also his thoughts and feelings at that point in time, allowing the students to have a greater understanding of the immediate aftermath of the earthquake.

以上图片正在演讲的是我们《捎封爱》计划负责财政方面的程凯。512地震发生时,他本人正在北京进行中新两国的学生交流活动。因亲眼目睹了中华人民的毅力和团结及当时灾区发生的一系列感人事件,促使他愿意参与《捎封爱》计划的委员会。当晚,程凯也与那200名学生领袖分享了当时的感受与自己拍下的图片,让学生们对那汶川7.8级地震能有更深一层的了解和体会。

《捎封爱》计划委员会再次感谢裕廊初级学院的合作及配合,允许这些学生领袖们一齐参与这富有意义的活动。谢谢您!
