Rice Donations to the less fortunate

This coming lunar new year, ULC will be extending a helping hand for a good cause by pledging towards a RICE donation project which will benefit 17,866 needy beneficiaries across Singapore. Project R.I.C.E 2013 is an annual nationwide community service project helmed by SMU Red Cross since 2009 and involves hundreds of Red Cross Youth volunteers in a nation-wide rice collection event. This year, they aim to collect 37,000kg of rice over the next few weeks, to ensure that the beneficiaries will have enough rice for their CNY reunion dinners.

Rice is a staple which we may often take for granted. Yet to many of these beneficiaries, it means more than just a meal. Receiving the rice donations brings love and warmth to them during the festive period so that they can actually have enough to enjoy a simple reunion dinner with their families.

NUS ULC has set a target to raise and donate 1.5 tonnes of rice, and as of 18/1/2013, we are at 1.06 tonnes. If you are keen to make a rice donation, kindly drop Pearlyn an email at pearlyn.yapse@gmail.com to find out how you can do so.

**********************

This initiative by ULC aims to garner as much support as possible from our network of alumni + current members to help the less fortunate in Singapore during this festive season. All rice donations pledged will be donated to the organisers of Project R.I.C.E 2013 with the hopes of bringing a smile to the faces of more than 17,000 beneficiaries. 

Thank you so much for your generosity and support. :D

NUS Lifesaving exchange program to Taiwan 2012 - IRB rescue

We brave the fast flow rapids in Wulai and we tried the tedious IRB rescue with guts and determination and that help us to expose to more lifesaving skills that cannot be found back home, which we learned and benefited and also to bond us much closer. Thanks to our wonderful Lifesaving friends from Taiwan. Shenlaushi
