Kembangan- Chai Chee Edusave Awards Presentation Ceremony

Mr Tan Chuan Jin, Minister for Social and Family Development, Adviser to Marine Parade GRC Grassroots Organisations

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 Mr Tan Chuan Jin 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
