Mooncake Making Workshop for Adults 2011 - A Charity Workshop

Years back, I had put up some chocolate gifts items and donated part of the proceeds to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. I had always wanted to do a similar personal project again but it just didn't materialise.
This year, having conducted a volunteer workshop for the Little Arts Academy (LAA) children's workshop, I decided to partnership with them and do some fund raising for their Business Times Budding Artists Fund.

What motivated me in doing this? In my years of academic and professional training, I had been very blessed in receiving one bursary and two scholarship sponsorships. Though the total sum was not huge, they were significant in that I wouldn't have otherwise received the kind of education and experience I have now.

LAA's mission is: "To provide a creative learning environment and a broad-based arts curriculum where all children can discover their artistic potential and develop skills and personal values that will enable them to transcend personal, social and financial circumstances". This fund sponsors arts training for underprivileged children at LAA.

As it was just a few days back that I had the children's workshop at LAA, I had very little time for planning. J at LAA, however, was very fast to put the details on LAA's website http://www.thelittleartsacademy.com/category/partners/ and had also sorted the administrative details for me. I am very grateful to her and also to the Academy for helping me with this cause.



Above is my own effort in publicity and I hope there is enough participants to help raise a reasonable amount for the whole effort. To register, please email: enquirieslaa@toph.com.sg or call 6513 3013.

Friends, if you are reading this, my heartfelt gratitude to you for lending your support in signing up for the workshop or in helping to pass on the massage to any of your friends who might be keen.
