On 21 July 2016, over 60 volunteers from University-YMCA NUS brought cheer to 18 elderly beneficiaries from Thye Hua Kwan Seniors Activity Centre @ Telok Blangah Crescent under the Y Spring Clean Programme where the volunteers helped to spring clean a total of 13 rental flats for the beneficiaries staying at blocks 3 and 4.

SPRING CLEANING WITH UNI-Y NUS

To provide a platform for the Y STARS (YMCA Special Talents, Arts and Recreation Society) to show their talents and improve on their social interaction, 20 Y STARS beneficiaries were accompanied by 19 volunteers from Cold Storage for a Y Arts Challenge session at YMCA of Singapore on 13 August 2016 to create Singapore-themed clay tiles which included places of interest such as the Merlion, Gardens by the Bay and the Singapore flag. In celebration of the National Day spirit, the Y STARS were all dressed up in red, and a mini National Day celebration was held where they recited the national pledge and sang national day songs.

The art sessions for Y STARS are therapeutic and help the youth retain and exercise their fine motor skills. Having the opportunity to work on different art styles such as paint, clay and tie-dye encourages them to interact directly with the materials in their hands, aiming to develop their mark-making abilities. The individual artistic vision of the Y STARS always results in a fascinating variation among the final works and it is a beautiful glimpse into the extraordinary way they see the world.

“Through YMCA Silver Fiesta, we hope to bring cheer to the elderly by engaging them in various activities that are designed to promote the development of a healthier body, mind and spirit. It is also an opportunity for our young volunteers to develop closer bonds, build meaningful relationships and learn from the wealth of experiences and knowledge of our seniors as they take on the role of befrienders. At the end of the day, we hope that the elderly can age actively,

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES AT Y CAMP CHALLENGE

A total of 63 beneficiaries from TOUCH Centre for Independent Living (TCIL) and TOUCH Ubi Hostel (TUH) participated in the September run of Y Camp Challenge together with 104 working adults and youth volunteers from junior colleges, polytechnics, universities and Institutes of Technical Education. The 3 day, 2 night camp was held from 2 to 4 September 2016 at Westwood Secondary School.

Themed “A New Awakening”, participants went through a series of camp activities such as dragonboating, outdoor cooking and a campfire which focused on team building to promote social integration between beneficiaries and the volunteers. These activities also challenged the preconceived limits and boundaries of the beneficiaries so as to increase their confidence and resilience.

Mr Teo Zi-Ming, Chairman, YMCA Programmes Committee graced the campfire as the Guest-of-Honour. In his address, he said. “As Y Camp Challenge progresses, we must remember the Y Camp Challenge spirit that has been passed down over the past 10 years and continuing. This spirit of togetherness will continue to motivate not just the volunteers and buddies, but also to our various stakeholders in continuing to serve and provide the support required for the success of the camp.”

YMCA of Singapore would like to thank NTUC Fairprice Foundation and Tan Chin Tuan Foundation for their support for the camp.

STEPPING UP FOR A GOOD CAUSE

NURTURING COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS

In the months of July and August 2016, the 3 University-YMCAs (Uni-Y) in National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU) held their annual Uni-Y Step Up Freshmen Orientation Camp at National Service Resort and Country Club (NSRCC), Home Team NS Bukit Batok and Singapore Management University respectively.

The objectives of Uni-Y Step Up are to enthuse and unite youth toward positive societal action and to challenge each individual to step up to serve the community around them during their university years. Freshmen are exposed to the various social issues in Singapore through games and are given the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with beneficiaries through community service programmes which they attend.

Freshmen from all 3 student chapters were given the opportunity to befriend people with intellectual disabilities. For many of them, it was their first time volunteering. Uni-Y NUS and NTU led the participants to volunteer for Y Spring Clean, where they cleaned the homes of the elderly and interacted with them. For Uni-Y SMU, freshmen interacted with families from Lakeside Family Services and the elderly from Ren Ci Hospital through singing and games at the Chinese and Japanese Gardens.

Uni-Y would like to thank the following sponsors and partners for their support in Uni-Y Step Up:

• Fairprice Foundation • Goro Goro Steamboat & Korean Buffet • I'm KIM Korean BBQ • Maki-San • Mini Melts • MyWork • NUS Centre for Community Engagement • Qourier • Saveur • South West Community Development Council • The Food Bank Singapore

Uni-Y’s Leadership and Management Programme (LAMP) is an annual gathering for potential Uni-Y executive committee (ExCo) members from the 3 student chapters from NUS, NTU, SMU and the YMCA Community Service Club (YCS) from SUTD. Held at SMU and YMCA of Singapore on 10 and 11 September 2016, 31 participants attended the 2-day programme which was planned and executed by 10 members of the tri Uni-Y Holistic Enrichment Department.

Through various leadership frameworks, lively group discussions and participation in creative experiential learning, the participants were equipped with leadership competencies such as learning how to galvanise their teams to better serve the various committees to prepare them for leadership positions in Uni-Y and YCS in the future. The participants also had the opportunity to know more about Uni-Y Singapore through an informal interaction session with the current ExCo members.
