My thoughts

What if I am in these situations .

What do you think it's like to be a child facing illiteracy, poverty, a lack of sanitation, or food?

• I will feel that the conditions are too harsh.• I won’t be able to read and write.• I will not be able to enjoy the pleasure of reading . • Life will be very plain with no meaning. • I have to do physical labour when I do not have

education.• Mysteries about the world will be left unsolved in my

mind.

Would it change your life if someone came and helped you out of that situation?

• Yes , it would:• Be a great motivation for us.• Change my future.• Provide me with more opportunity to

work or get a better life.• Allow me to know more about the

world.

What are some really difficult situations that children face around the world?

• Declining literacy rate.• Not well informed about the

outside world.• Poverty cycle that goes on for

generations.

Do you think your actions can make a difference?

• It may make a difference, but not a very huge difference.• It can at least help one person to

live a better life and also allow a person to study or gain more knowledge.

Do you feel you have a responsibility to act?

• Yes• It is actually helping a fellow man

in need , giving a helping hand to those who really need help.

What resources do you have on hand that you can use?

• All the spare time that I have.• All my old clothes.• All the help I can give to them.• All my old books and stationery.• I can also join local charity organizations to

find ways to get the community involved and work together to help the needy.

The Boys’ BrigadeHave a heart,Share a gift

Their motivation.

• To bring happiness to the less fortunate during the festive season of Christmas through collection of gifts from the public.

• To inculcate the spirit of community service among BB members .

• To promote the spirit of caring and sharing among Singaporeans.

• To take care of the needy’s food needs so that they have money to study.

Challenges faced.

• Sufficient amount of food being donated for the less fortunate.

• Some food items are damaged and are needed to be sorted out.

• Some food items like rice are heavy and thus, require a lot of energy to carry, doing this kind of job can be very tiring.

What we can do to make a difference.

• We can help by donating food and old clothes to the needy.

• We can sign up and help out in social centres.

• Inspire others to help the needy by setting an example for them.

• We can offer our help to teach the poor how to read and write in English.

The one idea that is meaningful to us.

• One idea is that I could go overseas to help out the poor by teaching them simple English and also how to read and write to show them that people are trying to help them and that we can make a difference.

The one idea that inspires everyone.

• The one idea that inspires everyone is that everyone can do something no matter how small their deed is, they can certainly make a difference to the people around them.

Every little bit counts , as long as everyone do their part , the world will

be a better place .
