CHILDREN/YOUTH ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMES

Loving Heart seeks to provide a holistic experience to our beneficiaries as we believe that no child’s life opportunities are limited by their socio-economic. Thus, through partnerships with external agencies, we aim to provide them a range of school holiday enrichment programmes and activities to engage in.

HERITAGE TOUR & “READY-FOR-SCHOOL” SHOPPING TRIP – 27 NOVEMBER / 4 DECEMBER 2019

Young beneficiaries and volunteers from the Collaborative User Services Department of DBS were brought together for Loving Heart’s first “Back to school” event! Primary school students were brought to the Malay Heritage Centre where they learnt about Malay culture and origins through a guided tour and craft activities put together by the National Heritage Board while secondary school students had a mini “Heritage race” at the Indian Heritage Centre where 4 of the winning teams walked away with prizes.

After the museum tours in each run, students were brought to IMM to shop for their back to school supplies. Each child was given a budget of cash for lunch and shopping. Volunteers from DBS played a mentoring role throughout the outing, especially during the shopping trip where they lent a hand to the mentees, guiding them on managing their shopping budget. Overall, both runs were fun and fruitful for both the students and the volunteers as well.
