November is Charity Swim Month
After a successful Charity Swim 2011 which is an event for a cause, we sure made a history. This year, we will embark on Charity Swim 2012, bringing in the same passion for swim and extending our help to the needy.
This time the swim route will be on Philippine shores in Cebu, waters are definitely waiting for you to plunge in. Join and make another history for the Charity Swim on November and help raise funds to support the projects of the SAC.
Registration starts on the last week of June. Be one of the swimmers who will swim for a good cause. Forward to friends who are interested! For more details do contact: charityswim@studentadvisory.org.sg
NOTE: Due to uncertainty of the tidal condition, we see it necessary to not disclose the exact date yet, however, set your sail on November! It will be the Charity Swim month.
See you in Cebu!
AVIVA Lunch Box Program Activity
The Lunch Box Program provides free lunches to needy children by donating funds that have been sponsored to the school. After which, the school will print food vouchers for the children to exchange for meals in their school canteen. But that’s not all there is to the Lunch Box Program, in the activity held last 27 April 2012 in Damai Primary School, AVIVA, the corporate partner of the Student Advisory Center took the time to teach 80 students from the primary School to make healthy sandwiches.
It’s nice to see that the children are learning the healthy ways to make sandwiches. They are also becoming aware of the healthy benefits of the all natural goodness of vegetable and fruits. Not only that the children’s tummy full but also their knowledge!
We thank the AVIVA Group for sharing their time for the activity. We also thank Damai Primary School as the venue for the activity and for the students who actively participated.

Home Improvement Philippines
|
| The situation of houses in the Philippines is different to that of Singapore. The physical aspect itself is enough proof of the disparity of the living conditions. Most houses in the Philippines are erected on the soil, only flooring is made of solid materials, for some of the poorer families, sack cloths are used. The walls are made up of cheap ply wood and the ceiling is expected to leak during rainy season, in some cases, heavy rain can wash out the entire house. Home Improvement in the Philippines means tearing down house to build an entirely new one. That is exactly what the team of SAC did for one family. Through the efforts of SAC and the Rise Above Foundation, our charity partner in the Philippines, we carefully surveyed which family to sponsor.    The SAC Team composed of Mr. Sein Lyan Tun and Ms. Jennifer Jularbal and yours truly, arrived on April 30 and commenced planning the Home Improvement Project. After buying the required house materials the team gathered four more volunteers for the task and began to embark for the day-long construction on 1 May. The Ciarot Family have 6 people living in the house. The husband is a construction worker and played an active role in building his house, his wife is a bag maker and a scavenger in her free time and they have four children. The house is located in a congested slum in Cebu. The construction did not finish in a day as there was major work to be done. With the major work done and sufficient materials provided, the home owners were able to complete the rest of the house on their own. The team made a significant difference in the house by providing the resources and volunteering their time. It is yet another successful Home Improvement Project, Philippines edition. |

Please Show your Support!
Hi, I am Yew Kwan, 37 years of age and I work as an electronics engineer. I first came to know of Student Advisory Centre two years ago, reading about them in a newspaper article featuring the Wishing Well Program. Since then, I have found out more about their activities and programs and even engaged in some of their actvities and know that their cause is truly meaningful.

Having participated in Charity Swim 2011, it was truly a great experience to have combined two great passions of mine; sports and charity. Inspired by this, I will be doing the Gobi March in June 2012, not only as a personal challenge but also in hope to raise some funds for Student Advisory Centre.
The Gobi March is a 250-kilometer (155-mile) 7-day, 6-stage foot race. The course of the Gobi March takes competitors across a wide variety of terrains including dirt tracks, sand dunes, dry river beds, hills, villages and more. Competitors must carry all their own equipment and food, are only provided with water and a place in a tent each day but are supported by professional medical and operations teams.
To show your support, I hope you can help by donating via this online link: https://www.give.sg/TeamGIVE/kwanie/a-desert-footrace-for-the-future

Mission Trip to Cebu
For two weeks in February (31 January – 9 February), our team compromising of Trevor, Sein and Jennifer headed up into Cebu to venture into the possibilities of helping children in the Philippines.
We visited 3 orphanages Rise Above Foundation, Children’s Joy Foundation and SOS Charity.
Our trip was successful and we have agreed to adopt Rise Above Foundation as our Charity Partner in the Philippines. They have a total of 17 children which they have rescued from the slums.
We will be granting these children their wishes through our wishing well portal www.wishingwell.org.sg. We will also be organizing trips from Singapore to Philippines to visit these orphanages. Please email wishingwell@studentadvisory.org.sg if you are interested in such trips!
