SPD Education Programme 2008

Charity Hongbao 2008

In celebration of Brewerkz’s 10th Anniversary, a special beer is handcrafted for the occasion. The Amber Wheat is on sale from Dec 2007 to Feb 2008. During this period, for every pint sold, $1 will be donated to SPD, Brewerkz’s chosen charity for this fundraising event.

SPD will mark the International Volunteer Day by launching a Volunteer Handbook. A special movie screening of ‘Enchanted’ is exclusively for SPD’s volunteers. This event aims to pay tribute to SPD’s volunteers for their effort and contributions to SPD.

Golf for a good cause! Obtech, a subsidiary of NEC Corporation of Japan established in 1996 to provide systems integration solutions for manufacturing companies, will organise its second Charity Golf event to raise funds for SPD, its adopted beneficiary for this event. Fulfilling its role as a socially responsible corporate citizen, all net proceeds collected will be donated to the Children and Youth Services programme at SPD to help students in mainstream schools and students whose parents are disabled. Join us now in supporting this worthy cause by donating or sponsoring a flight! Full amounts donated are eligible for double tax deduction.

Caregivers are people who provide care and support to those with disability/mental illness/chronic condition or who are frail and aged. For the help they give, they need to care for themselves too. SPD is pleased to organise a free public seminar for all caregivers, with the aim of promoting the importance of taking care of caregivers as worthy individuals. This programme consists of a series of talks which offers tips on how caregivers can manage their health and well-being. There will also be a free health screening and fitness assessment and buffet lunch served.

Catch our repeat telecast of the first-ever SPD Charity Show on Channel 8 at 3.30pm on 22 July 2007! Lines are open till 22 July 2007, so do continue to call in to support us!

Performances during the show included witty Chinese crosstalk by MediaCorp DJs, creative hand dances by MediaCorp artistes, campus superstar finalists, hip hop performances and a mini-musical by the cast of Toy Factory Production’s Big Fool Lee. World-famous veteran singers such as Liu San Jie (黄婉秋), Alan Tam (谭咏麟), Zhou Zhi Ping (周治平) and Tong An Ge (童安格) belted out their old and new hits.

The purpose of the show is to raise funds for our programmes and services, as well as to increase awareness of SPD. Through the show, we aim to highlight the abilities of people with physical disabilities, and to correct the mindset that disabled persons cannot contribute to the community.
