Hi to all council heads, class reps and cip reps :D
We are a group of 6 from 06s13 and we are currently working on a project - MINDS amazing race. We are also working with a group of students from NUS, MINDS (the movement for the intellectually disabled of Singapore) and PVC (project vibrant colours) on this project. As the name suggest, we hope that through this event we are able to raise funds for MINDS.
This would be a large-scale event and we hope to get more about 2000 participants for this amazing race. We would be getting students in groups of 5 from every secondary and junior college in singapore to participate. This event would we held on the 7th of January, from 9am till 3pm. Participants would be racing in areas around Singapore at more than 60 stations island-wide. We are hoping to get at least 3 volunteers for each station to be stationmasters. Thus we are hoping to get your support for this matter. We are approaching you (students of njc) because as time is running short, we are unable to quickly find volunteers from the public. Also, it would be easier to contact everyone during morning assemblies if we have announcements to make.
As for the 'job scope', we not only need help for the day itself, we would also need help for the packing of goody bags. Also, there would be various meetings before the actual date to delegate specific jobs to each person, such as which station would which person be at and what would the person be doing etc.
As you know for amazing races, there would be different activities for each station. Thus volunteers would be in charge of different games, such as 'Goo relay', 'Dunk', 'Balloon race' etc. For each specific game, stationmasters would be in charge of setting up of the station on that day and cleaning up etc.
Besides work on the day itself, if any of you are interested, may we invite you to join our discussions as soon as possible. We are currently in the midst of contacting sponsors and authorities for this event and help would also be widely appreciated.
Having said all that, i hope that every class would offer their services to us. Do not worry as CIP hours would be given to every volunteer. We hope to get more than 200 volunteers for this event, of course the more the merrier. Please try to contact your classmates as soon as possible and give us your reply. We hope to get replies in terms of classes so that information would be easier to spread in future.
Thank you all for your support and we hope to hear from you soon.
