PLAY FOR CHARITY on 17th Jun 2007 Sun event coverage








Its been a rewarding and informative sunday afternoon attending the "rat race workshop". Yeah! Our participants have acquired new insights abt investments ( things that we consider assets may no longer be assets but liabilities etc). We learnt abt how to increase our passive income so that we can have our money to work for us and not have us to work for the money...Hmm..think this is how the rich gets richer. A new perspective abt our investments through a fun-filled game called the rat race---it functions like a monopoly but needs more thinking and strategies. We would like to thank our participants for spending their precious sun afternoon esp when it is also father's day. In addition, we would like to thank our sponsors for this charity game ( Maximas and IPP wealth management centre) not forgetting Xeo and his team mates. Cheerios!

Quote-worthy Quote

I came across the following quote and thought that it is something worthy to share. Read it, internalize it and live it. Here goes the quote:

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

- Leo Buscaglia

Lets wake up every morning and live it with the smallest act of caring :)

Our Volunteers Orientation cum EID programme at HWA on 2 Jun Sat














Rise and shine at 9.15 am on a sunny saturday morning ( 2 Jun 2007).
This was no ordinary saturday as it was projectabled's 1st Volunteers Orientation cum Exploration in Disability programme held at the Handicaps Welfare Association, Whampoa Drive. Our volunteers joined us for a morning of workshops about disability and viewed a HWA's video presentation. We were honoured to have Mr Bay Meng Chien ( a HWA member) to share his life experiences to our volunteers.
Our lunch for that day was no ordinary lunch either. Volunteers were sent off in wheelchairs to buy their lunch within the Whampoa neighbourhood. Many of them went through " the pit" literally. Most of them now understand the difficulties and challenges that the physically challenged have to go through in their daily lives. Taking the first step out of their house ( comfort zone ) was considered a challenge as alot of the places, pavements etc are not "handicaps friendly". All the volunteers shared their experiences and discussed ways and action plans to improve the quality of life for the physically challenged people.
Our team would like to thank all our volunteers and the Handicaps Welfare Association for making this volunteers orientation programme a reality!
