I received this e-mail from CSCDC's High Five Youth a day back..

Dear Volunteers,

Here is another chance to get involved in our ad hoc projects - Traveling Together! If you are free on 22nd June 2006, Thursday, this is for you.

The High Five Youth is going to bring over 90 wheelchair bound patients and elderly for a memorable train ride with the SMRT.

This might be the first time the patients or elderly are taking the MRT as they are either not able to move around or 'afraid' of the MRT due to the complicated system. Therefore, we want to play a part in giving them this experience by putting together the manpower and logistics.

SMRT has agreed to provide us with a chartered train for the event. The train will start from Pasir Ris station to Expo thru Changi Airport (around 25 mins). We will then stop by Expo for a short tea session.

We need volunteers down for the event to accompany the beneficiaries throughout the trip and play an important role in making a little difference to their lives!

Date : 22nd June 2006, Thursday
Time : 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm
Meeting place : Pasir Ris MRT Station
Dismissal place: Expo MRT Sation
GOH : Mr Zainudin Nordin, Mayor of Central Singapore District, MP for Bishan Toa Payoh North GRC

Thank you!

Sounds fun! Seriously, ever since I flew and settled across the globe, I have lost all the volunteering spirit that I possessed back in Singapore. Well, not lost, just not put to use. In HFY, I'm still a volunteer in name, though a very inactive one. I can only pine and sigh how much I want to participate, but do nothing at all..
