14 Mar Groceries-For-Families-FRESH: Prime Minister’s Office (Singapore)
1 March was definitely an afternoon to remember for our children. From the moment they reached Children’s Wishing Well, they were greeted by our friendly volunteers from the Prime Minister’s Office (Singapore).
The day’s program kick-started with a short introduction by the volunteering organization. After which, the children were divided into small groups to embark on a healthy-eating quiz.
This activity enabled the children to bond with their individual volunteers. Later in the afternoon, they brought the children out to the nearby supermarkets to purchase fresh groceries to share with their families back at home and they had a fun time shopping for their groceries together.
With each passing session, the children have learnt how to budget and confidently purchase groceries- including checking the expiry dates and checking for signs of freshness. Many even insist on carrying and picking out the items themselves without any assistance!
We certainly hope to continue instilling such positive skills and values in them with our future upcoming GFF-Fresh programs!
Our sincere thanks to the affectionate and kind individuals who volunteered their Friday afternoon with us. Definitely a great way to end the week!
