This is the 2nd charity event of the year for me. But this time round, its for a childrens' home. Children in the home comes from broken family whereby their parents do not have the ability to take care of them.
Actaully i find that planning an event for a children home is more difficult as compared to the old folks as there are different age grps of kids ranging from 4 - 16 years old. We did customise some "goodies bag" for the kids with different items for gals and boys and for different age group too.
Packing was done on that day under hot sun!! Maybe this is a good idea, as everyone was super fast in packing...just to get out of the sun..lol
These colour bags are for the boys whereby we have put standard items such as towel, shampoo, pencil, crayons, stickers, mini games into each bags and tagged it with the child's name. The gals got their goodies in draw string pouches.
We reached the home at ard 3+ in the afternoon and the children are super friendly! At first we are still afraid that they would be shy and it would be hard to get them warm up. But i guess all these worries are for nothing. These kids basically likes attention and would hug / click on to you. The guys were assigned to play ball games with the older kids and us gals were assigned to play with the younger kids. And i tell you, the younger kids were damn hyper!! Its quite hard to keep them sitting still to listen to you. We played games like catching, dog and bone.
After dinner, we gave out the goodies bag to them and you can see the smiles on their faces. It really melts my heart. I am glad that we are able to bring some happiness to them in the midst of their lives.
