CIP UPDATE

HI everyone!! This is MELANIE =D your UNDEAD Service Learning Representative.
Here are some updates on our undecided CIP projects for June!

BLESSINGS IN A BAG

Hi Melanie

Apologies for this late reply and on behalf of the team, we would like to thank you for your kind support. We are really honored to hear that you and your friends are interested to volunteer with us.

Just a brief information about Blessings in a Bag, we are a Singapore not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation with the aim to help the underprivileged children all across Asia. What we do here is to collect donations from the public, mostly of children basic needs, sort them and clean them (laundry), before shipping all these generous donations to our beneficiaries over in Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia.

You mentioned that you and your friends are interested in communicating with children, we regret to say that since all our beneficiaries are overseas, we do not directly interact with them. We do so by sending them letters through our sister project called Scribbly Friends. We are still in the planning stages for another visit to any of our beneficiaries but due to the Swine Flu and several other travel warnings, we will most likely postpone the trip in June until the condition is safer for any trip.

A batch of students, also doing their Community Involvement Programme, just started to volunteer with us. They will come every Sunday to assist us with the sortings and packing boxes of donations to be shipped over. So do let us know if this is feasible for you and your friends as well. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Darren Lin (darrenlin@blessingsinabag.com), if you need any other information or details.


We are more than happy to help! Hear from you soon and have a nice day! :) Cheers!ArbellaStreet Team CoordinatorBlessings in a Bag
