Back To School 2017 Event.
Another
year has come to an end, and Parents Without Partners organised its yearly Back
To School on 3rd December 2016, in Dewan Masyarakat Angsana, USJ1.
Back
to School event is to render assistant to single parents in preparation for
their school going children for the coming year 2017. In preparation for this event, PWP have
received monetary aid, grocery and goodie bags contribution from various group,
such as corporations, church community and individuals. The monetary
contribution is used to purchase gift vouchers from a hypermarket and given to
the recipient on the eventful day.
The
event started off with a short game, followed by a short speech by the Co-Founders
Sanice Kam, and Social Coordinator, Jayapratha Batumalai. After which, a group
of 12 children from Reading Station’s dancing class performed a bollywood dance
titled ‘Chamak Chalo’ and a Malay dangdut song for the closing of the event.
These children were coached by Operation Manager, Adrian Ong together with a
volunteer and rehearsed the entire routine for 3 months. Indeed it was a lot of hard work and was entertaining.
A child from Reading Station also performed by reciting a short story titled
“The Mouse deer and The Crocodile” coached by Social Coordinator Jayapratha B. Many parents were encouraged to witness these
children performing, to showcase talents and confidence at the same time.
Co-Founder
Sanice Kam and Lim Lian See together distributed the gift voucher with grocery
aid and goodie bags to a total number of 40 families. Single parents and their
children were extremely happy and glad that their burden is lifted up, for the
coming year. Soon after, all guests partake to an afternoon meal of delicious
mushroom spaghetti, aglio olio and hawaiian bun.
