Children's Day Celebration
Our little ones at both our Bukit Merah and Clementi centres had a blast during their Children's Day celebration! From magic shows and fun in-house games to a live ice cream station, it definitely was a sweet treat for the kids.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible support from our volunteers and generous donors who made this event a success. From the bottom of our hearts, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you.
Spreading joy at the 'Not So Little Fair'
Recently, we had a booth over a weekend at the 'Not So Little Fair,' where we got the chance to share about Children's Wishing Well with members of public. We also brought along some adorable merchandise and children's artwork to raise funds. Our positive experience at the fair has inspired us to further connect with our community and explore our outreach efforts. We look forward to future events like this, where we can continue sharing about our work and meeting wonderful individuals. Do keep a lookout and come by to say hi when we have our next one.
Empowering Young Minds
One of the most valuable skills we can learn and impart is budget management. This is exactly what our key programme, FRESH (Fresh gRoceries for Every Student's Home) hopes to achieve with our children from as young as primary school.
They are paired with volunteers and go out to the nearest supermarket to buy groceries and household items within a budget of $50. Overtime, our children get so good at tabulating and managing their budget to spend exactly $50! We hope that this real world experience will give them a good grasp as well as confidence to manage their finances even beyond their time with us.
Year End Holiday Awaits!
Here's a throwback to one of the programmes from the September break, where they headed to Mind Cafe. Our children had a memorable time learning how to play 3 games – Giant Jenga, Hands Up and Moo’s Code. The volunteers connected almost immediately with the children in their respective groups, making the experience all the more engaging and enjoyable.
We are pumped to see what the upcoming holiday break has in store for us. Drop us an email at info@wishingwell.org.sg to initiate a conversation about potential collaborations. Whether you have a specific project in mind or simply would like to make a donation, we're here to explore the possibilities.
