“Do you want to be a Frog? Or a Panda? Or a Butterfly? Or a Tiger?”
The children were spoilt for choices as they pondered hard over what they want to be. While it may be a tough decision to choose an animal identity, it wasn’t that tough a decision for the children and families to sign up for the event – Craft Fun jointly organised by CaringSG, Art: Connect and Boon Lay Community Club 😊
As the name suggests, Craft Fun was indeed a fun filled event, bringing together 7 online participants and 5 families attending in person.
As a volunteer co-lead for this event, I was particularly impressed by the enthusiasm and passion of the Art: Connect volunteers. Despite their youth, their maturity and patience to guide the children step-by-step and the ability to engage both Zoom and in-person participants were just amazing! I secretly wondered whether I was that “zai” (Singlish term for “very good”) during my teenage years!
As a caregiver of a 15-year old teen with autism myself, having a network of caregivers in the “same boat” and being able to talk to someone who can empathise with my situation are blessings I have always been grateful for. I sincerely hope many more caregivers and families will join us in the big CaringSG family as we walk the journey together.
Big thanks to Art: Connect, Boon Lay Community Club CAREkakis and volunteers for your support and collaboration in our first inaugural CaringSG Boon Lay constituency event!
