Volunteers needed for Marymount Centre Marymount Centre was established in 1984 by a group of sisters, headed by Sister Gabriel. Our first main objective for setting up the centre is to provide a place for the kids, mostly from the school opposite the centre, Marymount Covent Primary School. We felt that the children always wander around not having a proper place to go or study, and so we decided to set up a place for the children to play and study after school. Usually we only take children who are from single-parent families or low-income families, but as years gone by, we realised that some kids who have both parents working also have no place to go after school. So we decided to take in those children too regardless if they were from single-parent, low-income or some other backgrounds.
Besides letting the children have a place to study and play, we strive to develop the children into all-rounders. We will also provide conselling to these children, teach them life skills like having cookery classes. Our centre opens from 7am to 7pm, weekdays only, so usually the primary 1s to 3s students will be in the centre in the morning, whereas the primary 4s to 6s will coming in, in the afternoons.
Now, our main aim now in the centre is to actually help bring up the grades of the children, especially getting help in their subjects like English and Chinese. The age group of all this children are primary school children. We need your help in giving tution to all these children, most preferred way would one to one. As we only have 3 to 4 staff serving about 30 children, we really need all the help we can get to help these children. The place is at 790 Thomson Road, Singapore 298142. You can take 166 or 851 from Ang Mo Kio.
If anyone is interested in volunteering in this event, please call or just drop Aina a sms at 96870021 or email at ainachow@singnet.com.sg.
