Helping the less fortunate in society is a blessing. In this respect EO Lim Geok Suan, on behalf of the Cannosian Alumni Mission is undertaking a project to visit St. Joseph Home to provide 100 residents with a Lunch treat and some form of entertainment for their enjoyment and happiness.

We hope like-minded SHCians will volunteer to come forward with Cash donation or volunteer their time to this good cause. 

To  begin with, we need 10 volunteers to help to serve the residents. 12 volunteers to help feed the residents who are unable to eat by themselves.

SHCian LIM TIAN SOO has generously agreed to give a $500/- cash donation to start the ball rolling.

Oi Cheng will be the appointed member assigned to take care of this cash donation drive.  Bank details of Oi Cheng as follows:

Name : Lum Oi Cheng
POSB Saving A/C# 117-00132-6 
The closing date for the transfer will be set on 21 April 2009.

Apart from the lunch treat to be given to 100 residents of St Joseph Home, whatever balance left over after deducting this expenses will be donated to St Joseph Home at the end of this event.

We hope this good deed will receive a good response from all the kind-hearted SHCians. We need everyones’ support to make it a success. In giving happiness to others is a joy to ourselves. Thank You.
