PC Project
A PC Project event was held by Young NTUC on 5th and 6th September 2009, and about 10 students from the school had volunteered for this event.
In the 2 days duration of the event, the student helpers were given a considerable number of computers to clean. As most of the computers are in use for quite an amount of time, the helpers had put in much effort to clean it to their best abilities. Some even took the extra mile in ensuring each and every part of the components are not damaged by using small and difficult to handle tools to clean the computers.
On the second day of the event, students assisted in reformatting the computers to ensure that it will run in perfect condition when delivered to the families. With no knowledge of how to reformat computers, they put in much effort to learn and do it step by step. Although slow yet it was a helping hand.
The helpers' efforts did not stop there; they continued on to deliver the computers to each and every family. At their houses they even helped them to set up the computers and called the Microsoft office to verify them computers, this was done for each and every computers that are delivered.

nEbO Junior KidzQuest 1
“SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT “
That’s the three words that can be described on what was seen and felt by the volunteers after the event ended.
On 18th May, 106 participants went for a voluntary event, Junior KidzQuest , that was organised by nEbO at eXplorerkid, E!hub. The volunteers were allocated to childrens’ aged from 2 to 6 years old. These are needy children who comes from single parent families/ low income families/ or parents who for some reasons are unable to care for their children. There are also some children of special need with autism.
Faces of excitement can be seen on every volunteer when they were assigned with a kid. Though some of the kids look frightened at first, the volunteers manage to ease their uneasiness by entertaining them with the sculpture balloon that was given. The kids were first taken on a 3 minutes ride on the Ferris-wheel and then to the eXplorerkid where they had lots of fun playing.
At the end of the event, wide smile was etched on every kids face. On the other hand, the volunteer felt satisfied in being able to contribute their energy to do volunteer work that leaves a smile on other faces.
