1. Recruitment Drive: Go Green for the Community
More About Go Green
Go Green for the Community aims to develop the notion of the community giving back to the community through recycling efforts.
For this project, volunteers will collect old newspaper and old clothes from the residents and will exchange them for groceries like instant noodles and rice. These groceries will then be donated to the needy families in the constituency.
Before the distribution, volunteers will have to conduct house visits to the needy families. These visits seek to expose the volunteers to the problems facing the families, so that they can better understand their situation. Also, it helps to give assurance to the needy families that they are being taken care of. During the visit, the volunteers can brief the volunteers on what are the schemes available to them. After the visits, the families will be then be “classified” according of their level of need. The “more needy” families will receive a larger share of the groceries. The groceries will all be distributed to all the families just before Chinese New Year. We will seek to give them any additional services possible as well.
We are currently looking for passionate and responsible individuals to come forward and join us in organising committee comprising both NUS students and YEC.
