Our annual Joyride just had more meaning to it! The committee has arranged for a visit to the Thien Phuoc Foster Home as part of the company's CSR initiative!

Donations are rolling in now~

Everyone's looking forward to the trip!

Stay tune for more pictures... :)

* The love of the world at 7:56 PM.

after a haitus (due to relocation of office and the economy downturn), we decided to revitalise our CSR initiatives..

Once again, through Dr Robin Yap's recommendation, we purchased 180 tickets for Chingay 2011. We then approached Caritas who linked us up with MPFSC. :)

Brief Background of MPFSC
A member organization of Caritas Singapore Community Council (which mobilizes the Catholic Community to serve the broader community) – runs a comprehensive range of social services helping individuals to realize their own potential; empower families to increase their functionality; and nurture the community to strengthen its bonds, in the East Coast area. More information available at http://www.mpfsc.org.sg/index.php.



The evening began with a heavy downpour as we were heading to pick up the residents from MPFSC at Marine Parade Block 53, but our spirits were not to be dampened. Our prayers were answered as the skies cleared up as we arrived at the parade venue – providing a cool and relaxed environment for the residents to fully enjoy the evening’s programs.













It is heartening to know that our good intentions were well appreciated by the residents and staff of MPFSC (with the 2 thank you cards received from them after the event).

A BIG Thank-You from the Manageent to all the volunteers:
Carol Ong (Project Head), Claudia Tan, Carol Tan, Jesline Ng, Maria Goh, Jen Chan, Shan Lin, Mohd Joha, Lim Lee Cheng, Keller Ang, Jessie Lu, Ong Pei Leng, Celestine Ong, Nicole Leong, Karen Chua, Peggy Lim, Shermaine Tang, Daphne Leong and Frances Jane.

With Chrismas just around the corner, S2T decided to contribute our share of the Christmas spirit...

after weeks of brain-storming, preparation and visits, the committee members (Celestine Ong, David Chua, Esther Lee, Fiona Gee, Grace Tan & Nicole Leong) came up with the idea of inviting the lil' kids from Canossaville Children's Home together with the S2T family to the Night Safari on 19th December 2007....

We're going to the zoo~ zoo~ zoo~~...

After the kids & staff settled themselves at Bongo Burger, our MD, Mr Leong gave a short speech...

" Thank you for joining S2T & family this evening for this short outing.. We hope all of you enjoy yourselves tonight.. Please remember that the animals have not taken their dinner, so... please stick together as a group..."

Yikes! =P

Souvenirs were given out thereafter...

S2T & family

Dinner is served...

During dinner, everyone got to enjoy a Cultural Performance put up by the awe-inspiring Bornean tribal performers - comprising of tribal dances, blowpipe demonstrations and fire-eating displays!!



After dinner, everyone hopped on board the tram for a 45-min tram ride with commentary across a landscape that dramatically changes.

At the Himalayan Foothills, they saw the Himalayan Tahr and Vultures. Animals at the Nepalese River Valley include the Otter, Wolf, Greater Asian Rhino, Jackal and Sambar Deer. The Indian Subcontinent featured the Striped Hyena, Gir Lion and the Sloth Bear. Giraffe, Spotted Hyena and the Hippo were seen as we travelled through Equatorial Africa. This was followed by a journey through the Indo Malayan Region that is home to Hog Deer, Bearded Pig and Tiger. The Tapir, Red Dhole and Asian Elephant comes next at the Asian Riverine Forest.

Laughter & eager chatter of the children could be heard whenever they spotted the night creatures!

Cameras with flash lights were strictly forbidden as they cause stress to the animals and in long run, blindness! Thus explains for the lack of photos on the tram rides... =P

The next programme lined up for the evening was a Creatures Of The Night live performance at the amphitheatre...

Q-ing outside the amphi theatre

it started to drizzle a little.. and the kids opened their ponchos to help shelter their friends & to keep themselves dry..

Gathering for a headcount

Soon... it was time to leave....

but nonetheless, everyone enjoyed!

On 11 June 2007, what started off as a continuation of staff activities for all S2T staff, prompted us to launch our very first S2T-CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) project...

Dr Robin Yap connected us with Pastor Andrew Khoo of New Hope Community Services...
and we had 30+ children from the home attending "Shrek The Third" together with some 160 S2T staff and family members at Eng Wah Theatre, Suntec City.

SHREK...
