Hello GAHA Members!
There is an exciting opportunity for us to educate young children about the importance of racial harmony through a day of fun and laughter.
On 24th July 2011, we will be conducting a Racial Harmony programme for a group of upper primary and lower secondary children at Darul Ihsan Orphanage (a non-government institution which helps to provide for the maintenance, care and education of orphans of Muslim parents). The programme will be from 4 to 5.30pm. However volunteers are requested to come earlier for a briefing and to set up the area.
We are looking for 10 volunteers as group facilitators and station masters. Interested members, please email Joan at StayWithMe@nyaagaha.org by 15July (Friday) to indicate your interest. Please include your full name and contact number.
We hope that you will bring your youthful energies to this event, to engage the children from Darul Ihsan and be their bridge between them and our wider Singapore community.
We look forward to your reply!
Cheers,
Organising Committee of “Stay with me!”

GAHA is looking into collaborating with some partners on reading programmes for less privileged children in their primary school years.
Before further steps are taken, and to facilitate these, please email yingshya@nyaagaha.org by 22 June if you are interested in volunteering, and available to do so.
Commitment levels are anticipated to be on a once-a-week basis (though rostering arrangements can be made, if there is sufficient response, for volunteering on a bi-weekly basis), for 10 weeks at a time, during the school term. We are hoping to have the sessions take place on a Saturday morning or afternoon, for about 2 hours each time. Each 1-2 volunteers (again, depending on response) will be paired with 4-10 children, depending on the beneficiary GAHA is collaborating with.
Volunteers will need to go for a one-off, one-day training session with ReadwithUs volunteers, who will teach GAHA volunteers about reading to children. The training will include how to moderate / facilitate a training session, how to build a reading curriculum, how to pick appropriate books, how to chart the progress of the children, etc.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Together with Admiralty CC, GAHA will be embarking on a community survey to ascertain the state of community cohesion and strengths within the community. The findings of the survey will give Admiralty CC a better perspective of their residents’ needs to build a stronger and more resilient community.
The survey will be conducted on 136 blocks in Admiralty on 2 full Sundays in June 2010. The exact dates will be confirmed at a later time. If you are able to commit 2 Sundays of your time to assist in this initiative, please email yingshya@nyaagaha.org by 8 Jun.
