When I was at work, Marieann called me to ask if she could help out with the Prize-Giving Day rehearsal on Thursday and Prize-Giving Day on Friday. For me, I have no issue with her helping out her teachers and her school. I am proud of her that she is willing to volunteer her time and effort for the school. To me, she is enacting the SCGS school motto of Sincerity, Courage, Generosity and Service.
I also realised that Marieann will be helping out with the P1 Arts Day in school tomorrow. So for Marieann, she will actually be in school everyday for this whole week even though she is already on holiday! Lol. :)
PS. I wonder if Marieann is doing all these volunteer work just to spend more time in school because she is already missing SCGS? Hmmm...

Volunteer Work
Although Marieann is supposed to have started her holiday, she went back to school today. She volunteered to help her Science teacher to guide the P3 students in their post-exam Science activity of using the datalogger. In fact, she will also be helping out again tomorrow for the P3 post-exam Science activity. I am actually surprised that she wanted to do this as I thought she couldn't wait for her hols to start after her PSLE.

Volunteer Work
Due to unexpected circumstances, early in the morning like 7am, I was woken up to go in place of my father to be a volunteer.
My mother's temple was giving lunch to people with cerebral paralysis (both adults and children). Her temple would invite different groups of people with special needs 4 to 6 times a year and treat them to lunch as well as give each of them a goodies bag and an ang bao.
We helped out with preparing the food early in the morning. When the people started arriving around 11am, we helped to settle them down at the tables as some of them were in wheelchairs. There were about 19 tables of 10 persons each table. Around 12 noon, we started to serve lunch. Lunch ended around 1:30pm but we had to clear up the place. We only got home close to 2:30pm.
It was really tiring as we were on our feet most of the time since 7am+ until 2pm. Although very tiring physically, I felt very good emotionally. I looked upon it as my way of repaying society. The experience also made me very appreciative and thankful for what I have -good health and healthy children.
