Those NTUCs i put into the poll are receiving points designated by Boys Brigade. They also have limited volunteers lah, not possible to position themselves at every NTUC in Singapore.

The outing will be on 17 Dec 2008 as the Boys Brigade themselves will ceasing the operation on 19 Dec 2008. So, you still on? Just an hour of everybody's time will be enough.

Contributing is easy, but coordinating is not.

Since most people just interested in passing the money and letting others do the job, then might as well as purchase the goods online instead of transferring the money to me to do the same thing right? Moreover, it is very hard for me to prove that all money received indeed spent on purchases on items that eventually went into the Boys Brigade Sharity Box.

as what my boss mentioned:
alot of coordination work involved (cowboo and CEO both are busy
), most of us can only afford monetary aid but not able to meetup to get the groceries physically. Also the transparency of showing everyone that items had been hand over to the BB collection point
by doing it online, it save alot of hassle and we can do it OTOT

Looking at the poll above, only Agnes Josephine and Mami_Jazz is really able to help out. You will be too busy snapping pictures of imnewhere.gif. bleh.gif A lot of people volunteered to give money. I believe the real spirit is only shared when actions are performed together. To made monetary donations only, you can easily DIY online.

just buy groceries? delivery to where? and how to distribute?

gumbokins
you can buy the BB hampers from fairprice websites, $20, $30 and $50

http://www.fairprice.com.sg/Stores.aspx?Ca...rity.htm&sm=sm1

fairprice will then deliver it to the beneficiary. Payment by VISA/mastercard.

Ends 19 Dec smile.gif

--

actually on second thought, if anybody wants to join me in the purchase of the hampers? one time register, one time payment..

who are the beneficiaries?

i was thinking... cos all along i'm interested in volunteering... any mummies wanna join?
rhapsody28
I was in a salon yest and read up on an article for charity CSC.

Other than monetary contributions, the volunteers will schedule some time to visit the elderly and talk to them and help them with some paper work or call their children etc etc... i feel it's meaningful and if possible, i intend to bring DS along... teach him kindness...
