This is an annual event to appreciate these everyday heroes and their dedication. In 2016, we hope to inspire even more individuals, schools, corporate and community partners to join us in building a Caring and Healthy North West Community. A larger pool of volunteers will allow us to cast a wider net to cover more areas of community work, ranging from projects aimed at caring for the vulnerable residents, inspiring youths and promoting healthy living and environmental causes. 4 Volunteers, corporate and community partners are crucial in realising the North West CDC s vision of building a Caring and Healthy North West Community.

She says, It is my passion to serve people, especially the seniors. Since I was a child, my parents had taught me that it is better to give than to receive. There is this satisfaction from within when you catch a glimpse of a relaxing smile on the faces of residents you have helped. Organisations have also joined in to inculcate a spirit of giving back among their employees by partaking in volunteerism as a group. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Command under the Republic of Singapore Air Force, which had been encouraging batches of National Service Full-Timers (NSFs) to volunteer at the Melrose Home for 15 years, and City Sunshine Club under the City Developments Limited, which adopted and organised activities for two rental blocks in Marsiling Road for many years, are two examples of organisations dedicated to giving back to the community. 7 The North West Outstanding All Rounder Student Award-CDC level will be presented during the North West Volunteers Appreciation Day The North West Outstanding All Rounder Student Award-CDC level serves to recognise 15 students who are all-rounders in the five main areas of Academic, Leadership, Co-curriculum, Community Service and other attributes such as student s creativity, as well as the student s involvement in caring for the environment. 8 Supportive school partners are also essential in nurturing a cohesive and caring community. The collaboration with schools provides a platform for students to volunteer and develop holistically outside the classroom. To appreciate and recognise schools that have provided tremendous support to the North West Community, 26 schools will be conferred the North West Outstanding School Partner Award during the event. 9 To encourage organisations involvement in CDC and grassroots activities, the People s Association Community Spirit Award is presented to corporate and community partners who embody the spirit of volunteerism and Corporate Social Responsibility.

8 Annex C HUMAN INTEREST STORY ON NORTH WEST WECARE AWARD Mdm Koh Siang Noi Rose 54 Years Old Nee Soon East Division Growing up with a Kampong spirit, where neighbours cared for and shared with one another, had inspired Mdm Koh Siang Noi Rose to serve the North West Community, and she has handled over 5,500 cases over 23 years. During her childhood days, playing and eating together with seniors who gave her guidance has contributed to her passion for volunteering, especially in areas of helping the needy and seniors. Dedicated in meeting needs of residents seeking social assistance, she conducts regular house visits and leads her team of welfare volunteers to provide empathy, goodwill and effective help to the needy in the community. For an example, she visits the less mobile elderly regularly to find out their daily needs and check on their well-being. However, not everyone is receptive of help. For Mdm Koh, social assistance is not just a one-time help, it is a continuous process. Mdm Koh shared about such a family of three, with one sole breadwinner and two stay-home members suffering from medical conditions, which was hesitant about receiving social assistance due to their distrust of strangers and reluctance to step out of their comfort zone to elevate their circumstances. It was only after two years of reaching out and unwavering sincerity that Mdm Koh finally managed to gain their trust. She has since coordinated home cleaning and social bonding activities for the family, as well as provided them with emotional support. Mdm Koh is committed to the relationship she had built up with many other similar families. Despite having a slipped disc injury, she often helps in home cleaning. Mdm Rose believes that her dedication will garner greater trust from these families and make them more receptive of the assistance that they need. Mdm Koh also shared that the relieved smiles on faces of residents she had helped spurs her to continue her volunteering work for many more years to come. 8

9 HUMAN INTEREST STORY ON NORTH WEST WECARE AWARD City Sunshine Club City Developments Limited (CDL) The staff of City Sunshine Club, under City Developments Limited, contributed at least 1,000 service hours to benefit 4,000 North West families over the last five years. They supported various CDC programmes, and an example would be their adoption of two rental blocks in Marsiling since 2012 to befriend and spread festive cheers to the less privileged through outings and festival celebrations under the North West Care & Repair and North West Service Weeks programmes. Recently, they also engage the lowincome families in rental blocks of Limbang Division. Regular activities organised for the residents include Chinese New Year celebrations, trips to the S.E.A. Aquarium, and mooncakes-making during Mid-Autumn festival. Under the North West Care and Repair programme in 2012, City Sunshine Club, together with other community partners, planned and organised the first Christmas celebration for the needy residents. Playing Santa, City Sunshine Club granted wishes of children from low-income families and presented the elderly with $50 worth of vouchers. Participants were also treated to a HiPPO Tour ride through Orchard Road to enjoy the Christmas light-up and busk in the festivities. Similarly in North West Care and Repair in 2014 and 2015, City Sunshine Club gathered donations from their staff to purchase Christmas presents on the wish list of needy students of Marsiling and Limbang Divisions. Staff volunteers distributed these presents and organised game booths to bring Christmas cheer to the needy residents. City Sunshine Club showcases their spirit of giving not just on special occasions in 2015 and 2016, they were engaged in North West Service Weeks. In both years, City Sunshine Club donated household items to 10 households each year, to make life more comfortable for the residents. 9

10 HUMAN INTEREST STORY ON NORTH WEST HEALTHY LIVING CHAMPIONS AWARD Ms Norhanim Bte Sattah 48 Years Old Zhenghua-Jelapang Division North West Brisk Walking Club Ms Norhanim Bte Sattah holds family health and bonding close to her heart. Due to economic and societal progress, family members lead a more hectic lifestyle individually. As such, stress build up easily and quality time spent as a family depletes. Ms Norhanim sees the Brisk Walking Club as an opportunity to solve both issues simultaneously. Her dedication to volunteering stems from this personal interest in bonding the young and old through activities that boost health concurrently. This drive has motivated her to be actively involved as a coordinator in North West Brisk Walking Club for more than 10 years. The Brisk Walking Club activities are a platform for residents of different ages and races to come together and for new friendships to blossom while providing a channel for residents to keep in touch. Ms Norhanim demonstrates her commitment and strong personal belief in health and family bonding by roping in her family members, and she regularly brisk walks together with her daughter. Ms Norhanim s hopes for the future of the Brisk Walking Club are a much larger membership and greater bonding between the residents. 10

Mr Chang would first establish goodwill and friendships with residents, then encourage them to join the Healthy Living Clubs. Through club activities and introductions, Mr Chang connects them to one another. Mr Chang seeks to inspire his members to become regular volunteers like himself.
