Flag Day 2008
On 8 November 2008, our cadets participated in Flag Day and this is one of their reflections.
一
8th November 2008, the entire unit of AHS NPCC travelled down to Far East Plaza, spirits up & ready to play her part in charity. This time round, the flock participated, together with many other schools, to raise funds for the Children's Society. At the meeting point, our AHS NPCC queued up to register as well as collect the donation cans. Grasping the stickers tightly, everyone began to hype up for yet another amazing experience with AHS NPCC.
As we were given two designated locations to serve, we split up into two groups, one going to Clarke Quay and another to Chinatown. With two popular places at hands, we were confident in raising a relatively large sum of money for the Children's Society.
With each group splitting up into yet smaller groups, we covered the entire vicinity and asked relentlessly for donations from people from all walks of life. Despite many rejections, we still managed to raise quite a sum of money, complimenting the effort we put in.
To every individual taking part in Flag Day, bear in mind that it is not the CIP points that we yearn to obtain, but the realisation of kindness and compassion in people we ought to appreciate. This once in a blue moon voluntary work serves as a reminder to all of us to always remember the needy people around us, and help them to our utmost ability.
