2 - Responsible on gathering people to join the volunteering group. Service Objectives CARE SINGAPORE was set up to provide a wide variety of programmes for at- risk youths. Their activities help to empower these youths, encourage them to turn dreams into reality as well as giving them a purpose in life. The organisation takes a long-term view and focuses on impacting young lives by providing them access to social, educational and community support programmes. By doing so, it aims to develop young people who are resilient, purposeful and willing to contribute back to society. In this service-learning project, we hope to encourage the youths to take on a more active lifestyle through the introduction of various sports such as captain s ball, table tennis and badminton in a 2-day camp. With an active lifestyle, the youths will be able to maintain their health as well. Moreover, sports emphasises on concentration, willpower and teamwork. This serves to develop the character of the youths, especially their soft skills. The second aim of this project is to raise awareness amongst the volunteers of this project of the help required by CARE Singapore. Hopefully, after the end of the project, more youths will volunteer their time with CARE Singapore. How the project meets the stated service objectives We will be gathering volunteers from Hwa Chong Institution (College Section) to help facilitate the camp activities. With the recruitment of volunteers, we raise the awareness level of the aid required by CARE Singapore within the school community. With a raised level of awareness in the school community, students will be more encouraged to volunteer at this organisation in the future. Learning objectives for volunteers Starting from scratch, our organizing team will learn how to plan and execute our Service- Learning project, putting our ideas into actions. We will also learn about the true values of serving the community and not just to complete an impressive project. In the process of executing the project, it is inevitable to meet with many challenges so we will learn to persevere and be resilient. Furthermore, we will also learn how to work and cooperate with our organising team and this skill will definitely come in handy when we embark into our working field in the future.
