Singapore Accountant (Jan/Feb 09 issue) Feature Story
Spreading Warmth in Bintan In October 2008, over thirty students and lecturers from the Diploma in Accounting & Finance of Temasek Polytechnic, participated in an overseas community service project in Bintan, Indonesia. ICPAS and CPA Australia jointly sponsored $4,000 for this charitable effort.
The two-day outreach programme took place at Pesantren Al Ghazi, a small orphanage which also provides education for local children who are unable to attend a formal school.
This project was aimed at inculcating a spirit of care and sacrifice as well as understanding of cultural and societal differences through the delivery of meaningful services for needy communities in a foreign country.
The students were first divided into teams to give the orphanage a much-needed fresh coat of paint. They then interacted with the children through various specially planned activities and games, spreading much cheer and joy all around. The student presented personal gifts such as stationery items and toys to the children while the team also donated essential household items such as rice, toothbrushes and washing powder.
“It’s a meaningful and memorable trip, where we get to help people who are less fortunate. At the same time, we realize how blessed we are.” – Neo Siao Wei, 18, Year 1 student.
