Kids' World, a 3 day non-residential camp, is an annual event held by WSC-VM to raise awareness of underpriviledged kids to the student and staff population of NTU, and to provide an avenue for non regular volunteers to encourage volunteering.
This year, our beneficiaries from Rotary Family Service Centre, Rotary Student Care Centre and Tampines Family Service Centre, which was totally different from last year’s beneficiaries. As such, it was a brand new experience for the kids and to the volunteers who participated in Kids’ World 2008, and of course to the VM Committee as this is our first time working with the new beneficiaries. Unlike past year’s Kids’ World, we introduced a mass dance element to this year’s Kids’ World as we believed that doing so we can bond the whole camp together.
The mass dance would not have been successful and well received by the kids and the volunteers without the help of VM’s Co-chair, Goh Kok Yong who did the whole choreography of the mass dance. The kids loved the dance and wanted to dance on the table with Kok Yong as backstage dancers.
On top of the usual games played during Kids’ World, we made the kids and the volunteers paint their own group flag on the first day so as to let them have a sense of group identity. This idea of letting the kids paint their own flag were well received as some kids were able to show their talent in drawing. The kids and volunteers felt proud of their own group flag too as it was something that all of them put effort in together as a group.
The outing to the Singapore Zoo on the second day brought back a sense of nostalgia for the volunteers and also a new experience for some of the kids as some have never been to the Singapore Zoo before. The volunteers did a great job in ensuring that the kids assigned to them were well taken care of and no kids got lost during the outing. GREAT JOB volunteers! :)
The last day started off with stationed games around NTU. These games were planned with the idea of having educational elements in it. Games like “Protecting the Egg” with straws were played during stationed games to illustrate to the kids the moral that when united, even weak materials like straws will be able to protect a fragile egg when dropped from a height. After the stationed games, the groups headed over to Hall 15 function hall for the finale party. The party kicked off with the mass dance and prize presentation to the best kid dancers. The kids were really talented as they were able to remember the steps taught to them since day 1. The kids didn’t feel shy dancing on the stage and they were all feeling excited as they could perform in front of the whole Kids’ World. The buffet dinner started after the mass dance, and a video made by WSC PNP were shown during dinner. Shortly after dinner, groups were called up on to the stage for a short performance and prizes were presented to the groups.
The whole of Kids’ World ended with a mass photo taking on the stage and I’m sure everyone brought back with them a memorable experience.The Volunteer Management committee managed to pull off another successful and enjoyable Kids’ World and it will definitely leave a deep impression to all. It was all worthwhile seeing a smile on the kids’ faces! :)

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! :)
