The Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre (AMKFSC) hosted
a Charity Golf event together with YMCA of Singapore
to raise funds for their community programmes on 30
July 2003.
Far East Organization under its organisation-wide community
service programme, Caring Hearts, was the principal
donor with $50,000.
“Far East Organization has been in partnership
with AMKFSC for the last year. They have shown sensitivity
to the needs of our clients, providing them with opportunities
of interaction, socialisation, training and practical
help. More than that, they have displayed their care
and friendship,” said Ms Sudha Nair, Director
of AMKFSC. “Their staff, of all ranks and levels,
have not hesitated to participate in the activities,
whether it was carrying boxes, playing or teaching the
children and their families. They have shown the true
spirit of volunteerism, organising activities because
they want to help. The true success of their efforts
is priceless and can only be measured in the joy that
our clients - the families and children - take away
with them. We are truly appreciative of their kindness,
generosity and more importantly, of the friendship that
has been forged between AMKFSC and Far East Organization.”
AMKFSC was Caring Hearts’ first adopted charity.
Over a year-long programme from May 2002 to June 2003,
Caring Hearts rolled out a series of activities for
families supported by AMKFSC under its BASIC and Healthy
Start programmes. These included fund-raising and donation
drives, movie days, sports days, family day, toys &
books collection drive, art & craft workshops, factory
& farm visits, food donations, and festive celebrations. |
