Distribution of Mandarin Oranges for CNY

Date: 17th January 2009
Time: 11.00am – 12.45pm


In conjunction with the festive season of Chinese New Year, Interact Club of TIGS decided to give out mandarin oranges to the teachers and staffs of our school. This was a project which the club had been carrying out since a few years back.

This year, a total of 6 boxes of mandarin oranges were wrapped for 80 teachers.

The directors in charge gathered in the science lab early in the morning and began the wrapping process. Want to know how we wrapped the oranges?

First, we cut the wrappers.

Then, the oranges were wrapped. A tiny little ribbon was used to tie it.

We wrote our sincere wishes in some tiny little cards printed.

The cards were then folded nicely.

This is how the little cards looked like.
Everyone did a very good job in wrapping the mandarin oranges. And this is our outcome!!!

The process finished at around 12NOON. We then divided into different groups to different locations in school to distribute the mandarin oranges. The teachers were happy to receive them and we were happy they like them. The activity was a success!

Happy Chinese New Year! :)

After that, we were given a chance to chat with them. Our interactors listened to their stories patiently besides concerning about their health and life. Then, we played some simple games with them before giving them red packets to cheer them up! Int. Tan Kah Yee performed a magic show which the old folks enjoyed very much.

Before going home, we handed some daily necessities to the person-in-charge there which was some little thoughts from us. We managed to take a group photo with the old folks too!
