Youths Day Out

Post date 22 November 2020

21 November 2020 marked BTSS first youths’ outing at Jewel Changi Airport. Adhering to the current COVID19 restrictions on social gatherings, the 10 youths were split into 2 groups and led by Qin Han and Leonard. After meeting up at Changi Airport MRT station, the 2 groups proceeded to the Canopy Park at Jewel. Canopy Park, as well as, the rest of Jewel, was decked in Christmas decorations which added wondrous festive cheer. The youths explored the various attractions in Canopy Park in their own groups, and then proceeded for lunch after much walking. Time passed fast and before long, the youths had to say goodbye to one another.

(We hope this is the first of many more outings for our youths, and we hope they find strength in one another and build lasting friendships.)

Birthday Blessing for Cheryl

Post date 9 November 2020

BTSS celebrated member Cheryl’s birthday today with the delivery of a cake by longtime volunteer Kim and staff Jackie. We were warmly greeted by Patricia, Cheryl’s sister, who was thankful for us celebrating Cheryl’s 41st birthday. Cheryl loves being around people and she also loves We Bare Bears! The room was cheerfully decorated with We Bare Bears’ balloons, posters and sweet treats. Though she spoke few words, we could feel that Cheryl getting at ease with us as she allowed Kim to pamper her.

The intention was to bless Cheryl with a simple birthday cake, but I left the hospice all toasty and warm. The extent that Patricia went to make Cheryl’s birthday all about her favourite character showed the bond between the sisters runs deep and strong. I am reminded that bliss is always there when you look harder. Thank you Cheryl and Patricia!

Held over 3 days (26, 27 and 29 May 2020), a group of enthusiastic volunteers led our kids through a series of activities on the Zoom platform. Through games like Drawasaurus, Pictionary and Hangman, these sessions were a much-needed break from the doldrums of the stay-home season that everyone is in. Though initially reserved, the kids managed to break out of their shells and became at ease with one another through the 3 sessions. Thank you so much Ira, Aakriti, Ayush, Tanisha, Sumithra and Ms Padma!
