"Love is not patronising and charity isn't about pity; it is about love. Charity and love are the same - with charity, you give love; so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead." This is an inspiring quote by Mother Theresa.

The children also organised a mini fair together with game stalls, food stalls and craft stations for parent-child activities. Publicity flyers were distributed by the children together with students from Hougang Primary and Secondary School. Funds were raised through the sale of coupons.
