8 March 2008 became a special day to remember for children from four TCTF-supported charities: Canossaville Children’s Home, Children’s Aid Society, Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS) and As-Salaam PPIS FSC. That particular Saturday afternoon was special to the children, as they were exclusive guests to a free storytelling session by some of the most talented storytellers in Singapore. What made that day even better was that the first lady, Mrs S R Nathan, graced the occasion and joined the children in a fun time of storytelling.
The event, held at Republic Polytechnic’s Cultural Center Lab, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm, for 102 children, including one on wheelchair, and their chaperones comprised a series of folk stories from different parts of the world – India, Laos, Cambodia and more.
There was plenty of synergy: TCTF paid for the transport for all the charities, and the refreshments, the storytellers took care of the programme, and RP sponsored the venue. |
