Re: Inspire 07 Volunteer Recruitment
Inspire 07 - an island-wide project organised by students from
different education institutes to raise funds for the The Straits
Times School Pocket Money Fund, a fund for underprivileged school
children. Our fundraising project is held from 26th May to 19th
August, over several sessions on all weekends (Every Friday from
2pm-6pm, every Saturday from 10pm-2pm and from 2pm-6pm and every
Sunday also from 10pm-2pm and from 2pm-6pm).
This project aims to raise $160,000 for the School Pocket Money
Fund, which supports approximately 10,000 underprivileged primary
and secondary schoolchildren every year. To do this, we are
looking for volunteers to assist us with the
street sales of items including teddy bears and beautiful
custom-designed Post-It Notes®. As such, we would greatly
appreciate it if your students from your school
could join us in volunteering for this cause. We are seeking 80 to
150, or any other number of students from any level, CCA or class
to join us in volunteering for the School Pocket Money Fund. Upon
completion of this activity, the School Pocket Money Fund will
issue a letter of appreciation acknowledging the support from your
schools students.
Inspire 07 would allow the students:
1. A unforgettable experience and an invaluable opportunity to step
beyond their comfort zones when they engage in street sales
2. To develop empathy and concern for the less privileged members
of our society
3. To experience the spirit of volunteerism.
We invite you to discuss your school's possible participation with
us by contacting Ms Tan Khee Yunn Nicolette
(91380682/[email protected]) anytime. Attached is a list
of dates and times of our street sales sessions. We welcome
volunteers to join us as a level, as a CCA, or even as a class. We
are most willing to customise the locations, dates and duration of
the sessions for the students from your school.
Our programme is also designed to support your students
application for the National Youth Achievement Award. Additionally,
to facilitate data entry of CIP information into the School
Cockpit, Inspire 07 will immediately issue Certificates of
Participation at the point of completion of the street sales
session to the student stating the hours of service completed, and
any other details you may require.
We look forward to working with you and we greatly appreciate all
the help rendered by your school. For any additional information
regarding this project, do call us at the number above.
Alternately, you may email us at [email protected] or access our

Yours sincerely,
