How time flies! It has been three month since I am involved in GB. How I went in with trembling fear not knowing what was in store. I struggled with memorizing the girls’ names (especially those who only have Chinese names), building relationship with the 2 Teacher-in-charge, understanding the various terminology used, etc… It was a totally new ball game compared to Sunday School.

At the beginning of this year, the girls were able to join the Ladies’ Ministry in their tour round Labrador Park. It was led by Mrs Helena Poon and she made Singapore history come alive, real and closer to the girls. Many of them enjoyed the tunnel experience. We also managed to get 6 girls to join the Ladies Ministry High Tea and the girls had so much fun and were already looking forward to come back again next year. Such activities help them to feel comfortable mingling with church members and I think we have managed to achieve that.

This year, 9 out of the 13 Sec 1 girls are involved in the National Day Choir contingent. Hence, they were not able to join us since May. In order to maintain contact with the girls, we organized a full day outing to Escape Theme Park and Wild, Wild Wet for the girls. The girls were very appreciative of our generosity and for most of them it was their first time to these places.

We don’t just have fun, we also work hard too. Through your generous support in March, the Sec 4 girls successfully raised sufficient funds for their International Badge. After rounds of training in June, the Sec 2 girls also passed their Archery test and earned themselves a Badge each.

I think the greatest achievement the girls felt was when they practice hard for the cooking competition. Through their hard work and team spirit, they won a Silver trophy. In this event, the Sec 3 girls also managed to raise enough money, through their games stalls, for their International badge.

Besides imparting Christian values to these girls, we, like all parents, also help to motivate them to study hard so that they can enrol in a course they aim for after their ‘O’/’N’ level. As there were sufficient helpers to run the activities for the past months, I was able to free up some of my time to coach one of the Sec 4 girls for her “N” level in September.

We want to thank you – Prinsepians, in your giving of your possession.Your partnership has allowed us to carry out our activities smoothly.

We look forward to God’s leading and provision.

Thank you for your generous support and God bless! Mrs Jess Goh-Sim Acting Captain

About 30 Girls will be in church this Sunday and next Sunday for their GB Fortnight collection. Many of them will be afraid to approach you. About 13 of them are first timers and therefore shy. You will definitely encourage them greatly with your generous support and warmth.

3 steps to a “fun” raising: 1. Plan how much you intend to support through donation cards 2. Prepare loose note (like preparing for CNY “Ang Pow”) 3. Sign on as many cards as you can

The Girls will surely have a lot of fun doing fund raising this way!
