Bukit Gombak Edusave Awards Presentation Ceremony 2016

MS LOW YEN LING, Mayor of South West District, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Education & Ministry of Trade and Industry, Adviser to Bukit Gombak GROs, MP for Chua Chu Kang GRC

Research has shown that giving thanks makes us a happier person. However, with our busy lifestyle, we do not often stop to think about the people who have helped us in different ways in our lives. It is the honour of Blossom World Society to be invited by Ms Low Yen Ling to spread the message of gratitude to students who are receiving their Edusave Awards. While Edusave Awards recognise the students' achievements in school, we hope that through a short sharing session they would also take some time to reflect and give thanks to the people who have helped them.  During the session, students would get the chance to practise giving thanks by making an appreciation card with a personal message for their parents. 

" Volunteering for this event is an important yearly event for me. While spreading the message of gratitude, it also serve to remind me to give thanks and appreciate the people around me especially my family who I have often taken for granted. By practising giving appreciation, it has made me more positive and happier even in the face of adversities. " - Jing Xuan
