Mentorship Outing

Our 1st outing to Marina Barrage for Mentorship 2010! We gathered at Clementi SCS center in the morning before we set off to Marina Barrage! Weather was rather good and most importantly WINDY; as we were going for kite flying!!!

~Oops! What happened!



~Oh no! Stuck! Tangled!



~Ms Koh to the rescue!








~Yeah! My kite is saved!
~"It's a miracle!"

~Finally, group pictures to end off the outing~




It was definitely a fun and memorable experience for both Mentors and Mentees!

1st Mentorship Session 2010

*This is just something I created; not official.

It's the 1st session on the brand new, formerly known dearly to us as Befriending, of Mentorship 2010!

First of all, we would like to thank our social worker in charge, Ms Cindy Koh for helping us prepare the foods and drinks, as well as kickstart the session with a briefing for the youths!

Next, we welcomed all the new Mentors to the programme =D Also, it's nice to see the 'old' Mentors as well to be continuing with the programme! Hope we will do our best for the programme!

Lastly, the YOUTHS! Well, the proper name for them would be the Mentees!!! With the previous batch of Mentees, and also the new Mentees for this year! Hope we will have fun and make new friends!

In our 1st session, we started off with self introduction, followed by an Ice breaking game; Wacko. Later on, Wei Ying and myself conducted the Food Auction game to allow interactions between the Mentors and Mentees in 3 different groups. Each group has to discuss their bidding strategy to outbid the rest and win the prize. In our case, they will be bidding for their favourite snacks!!! Kit kats, Oreo, Chips, Milo packet drinks etc.

At the end of the game, we are happy to see that even though each group has their winning food prizes, they would share their 'winnings' with the rest of the groups =D The Mentee would walked around to share the food with other Mentees and Mentors.

The session ended with a birthday celebration and cake cutting for all the January, Feburary and March 'babies'.
