North East CDC SuperMind CNY Fiesta with Temasek Polytechnic

Description: On 27 January 2016, a group of 150 TP students from the School of Engineering together with the North East CDC SuperMind Clubs celebrated the Chinese New Year (CNY) Fiesta with 250 senior citizens. The SuperMind CNY Fiesta was the finale to an 8-week engagement programme for seniors and 150 TP students. This programme created greater awareness of the needs of our senior citizens as well as provided a platform for TP students to contribute to the community through volunteering. The senior citizens were taught how to make simple CNY origami models using recycled red paper envelopes. They were treated to a spectacular concert performance at Audi 1 followed by a sumptious dinner. As part of the community service initiative by Student Development (ENG), a photo exhibition on their engagement programme with the elderly was also on display at the Auditorium Foyer. Guest-of-honour for the event was Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources. Also present at the event were senior management staff including Mr Wong Kia Ngee, Director, School of Engineering, Mr Teo Sze Cheng, Director, International Relations & Industry Services and Centre for Character & Leadership Education, and Mr Teo Choo Hwee, Raymond, Director, Student & Alumni Affairs Dept.
