Talking Hands

This image taken from www.thinkquest.org shows the alphabets in sign language.

For most of us, we take our hands for granted.

But for some underprivileged residents in South West district and beyond, their hands are their means to make a living; to communicate; to connect.

As we put together Youth Hands-On! @ South West on 28 March 2010, let us join hands in reaching out to those in our community who need help, and take a proactive step towards a more inclusive and gracious society.

This March 28, let our hands do the talking.

Why March To Aid?

Why March To Aid?

It all began when we were deciding on the date for Youth Hands-On! @ South West 2010, which was eventually set on March 28, 2010.

When looking at the date while brainstorming on the concept, an idea struck.

"When we spoke about the date, 'March-Two-Eight' sounded very much like 'March-To-Aid'," says Terence Quek, Chairman of Telok Blangah Community Club Youth Executive Committee.

"This is most apt since Youth Hands-On! is about encouraging youths to get 'hands-on' in the community, and so we decided to incorporate a march into the programme."

Youth Hands-On! @ South West will feature a mass walk by 1,000 youths to symbolise youth taking proactive steps towards aiding those who need help in our community.

Mayor of South West district Dr Amy Khor will flag off and join the youths in the march.

Will you put on your shoes and do the march in aid of your local beneficiary?

What's YHO@SW?

Youth Hands-On! @ South West (YHO@SW) is a mass community service event happening in 2010 on March 28 ("March To Aid").

1,000 youths, together with grassroots leaders, will make a positive difference to local beneficiaries throughout Singapore's South West district on the same day, at the same.

The youths will attempt to make a Singapore Book of Record entry with a massive human formation of an open palm to symbolise youths getting hands-on in the community.

They will also 'march off' to various locations to engage beneficiaries, bringing with them gifts, good will and encouragement to show the community cares for them.

The event is organised by Telok Blangah Community Club Youth Executive Committee and South West Community Development Council.

Nestle is a sponsor for this meaningful youth community event.
