A one day event held for Autistic children attending school at the Asian Women Welfare Association (AWWA)
It has been a wonderful experience organizing this zoo outing for autistic children. The response for our event was overwhelming, with many students on the wait list as we were unable to accommodate so many of them. After the event, the organizing committee(VM) and the volunteers left the zoo with a heavy heart, and a meaningful insight to the lives of the autistic children and their caregivers. We applaud the teachers for their patients and love for the children and some of the volunteers felt the need to do more for these underprivileged children. In fact, one of our volunteers had already volunteered herself to help out in a weekly hydrotherapy session for the children.
We hope that after this event, more people would have already taken their first step, to be interested and willing in doing volunteering work.

Welfare Services Club is a non-academic constituent club in NTU which provide an umbrella of voluntary activities and social work.
We consists of 3 committees, namely Regular Service Projects (RSPs), Special Projects (SPs), and Supporting Committees (SCs). Volunteer Management (VM) is currently one of the Special Projects under WSC.
Volunteer Management organizes events to expose the students and staff population of NTU, who are not regular volunteers, to volunteering.
Every year, we will source for different beneficiaries which are those that we are not regularly helping out in. The events we organize differ yearly ranging from fund raisers to outings except for our annual 3 day camp for underprivileged children, Kids' World, in December.
Our events range from 1 day to 3 days for the beneficiaries and for every event we plan, we would need volunteers. Hence, this provides an avenue for students and staff who are unfamiliar with or are unable to volunteer regularly to be able to learn more about volunteering.
VM serves to act as a bridge which links the beneficiaries to a larger population and to potential regular volunteers.
We hope more volunteers like YOU will join our BIG family! :)
