Who Wants Ice Cream?!
Apparently, Hall 8 wants Ice Cream! Although tiring, it was definitely worth every drop of sweat to carry boxes of ice cream all around the Hall of Residences for 3 consecutive nights, just to raise funds for SCAS!
- Strawberry, Vanilla or Chocolate?
Thank you for supporting MAXAR’s ice cream selling canvassing efforts! We could not have done it without your undue support! Thank you all who have purchased ice cream from us. Your good deeds will go towards the funding of more charitable activities for our adopted beneficiery, the SCAS.
- Ice Cream Sold! Thank you!
- The Very Last Ice Cream Cone!

Science Centre Trip with SCAS
2 Oct 2009
A Belated Happy Children’s Day to SCAS
MAXAR together with it’s student volunteers from the NTU hall of residence 8recently spent a belated childrens day with children from our adopted charity, the SCAS! A total of 54 volunteers turned up for the event (thank you volunteers!!) and over 100 children from SCAS were present for the science centre event on the 2nd of October 2009! The children and volunteers from SCAS had a day of fun filled events such as watching a movie in the OMNI theatre, having magic shows by an awesome magician and building paper bag bears! We hope all volunteers enjoyed yourselves with the children as much as we did! Once again, Maxar would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who sacrificed their precious recess week holiday to come inspire joy and happiness into those who are less fortunate!

The Night Before…..
The Juniors had met up earlier and started packing the tidbits and other items we had to sell; not to mention they also went through the trouble of sorting out the groups and assigning programmers to the respective groups =)
Day 1:
We woke up bright and early and got ourselves to SMU – we were to meet the participants there…
Had a short ice-breaking session whilst we explained the rules and regulations of the competition and also how the locations would be handed out……
Each group was assigned a certain number of items to sell and with that, everyone set off with determination
At the end of the day, everyone met back at SMU to count the day’s work and the Winner for the 1st day was none other than the team put together by Hall 8’s 15th JCRC =D
Day 2:
There were some new participants whilst there were others that decided to stay on for both days =)
The new participants also included ….. Team Maxar! That’s right, our committee formed one group and decided to participate along with the representatives from MJC, hall 8 and friends =D

Whilst the first trip to the zoo involved our friends and hall mates, we decided to organize one more to get some people from the corporate world to interact with the children of SCAS. =)
And this time, it was Gain City who made the effort to come down and they also kindly sponsored the trip! So when the children arrived at the zoo, they were paired up with the representatives from Gain City =) In addition, a few of the teachers from SCAS also came along to chaperon and some of us from Maxar came along to facilitate.

27th of Febuary…..
….was the Trip to the Zoo organized by Maxar’s Elne!!! It was meant to be an interaction session between our Hall residents and the children from our beneficiary, SCAS (Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore). Everyone met at the zoo and the children arrived at approximately 1pm. The children were all paired up with a volunteer and proceeded to KFC for lunch and to get to know the children better. The volunteers all paid close attention to the child in their charge and the staff from SCAS were always nearby to lend a helping hand or to advise us on the individual child’s character.
-
- All anxious and excited about meeting their assigned kids! =)
-
- ….when everyone was just getting to know each other and settling down for a yummy-licious lunch at KFC! xD
-
- ….the children soon got more comfortable around their older “brothers and sisters”….and Uncle Brian! HAHA
-
- Looks like the meal at KFC brought the volunteers and children closer together! A good start at the beginning of an interesting trip!
-
- B-B-Brian was our sort of “tour guide” for the day, helping Elne lead the group and keep track of time as everyone else had their hands full, as you can see! =)
-
- Half-way through the trip, we stopped for a toliet-cum-rest break at none other than the Rainforest Kidzworld! Sad to say the incubator and chicks from our childhood were no longer there, but it has been replaced with a huge water playground! The children didn’t get a chance to play this time, but a few energetic ones played on the dry playground =) Maybe next time!
-
- Although some of the children came with prams, they were too excited to be pushed around and decided to walk on their own instead. A big THANK YOU goes out to the logistics and medic people who had to help carry the bags and push the empty prams!
-
- Our volunteers taking a hard-earned break whilst the children wait for their bus =D
-
- We were worn out, but had a satisfying and unforgettable experience!
-
- Even at the end of a tiring day, the volunteers mustered the energy to entertain the kids
At the end of the day, even though the volunteers and Maxar committee members were worn out, it was pretty sad parting with the kids and saying goodbye at the zoo…. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a really memorable time together =)
To the Hall 8 Volunteers, thanks a million for coming along on the zoo trip with us, we hope u had a super duper great time like we did!
Last but not least, to the Staff and Children from SCAS, thank you for participating and allowing us to have such a fun time!!! =)
