Hey guys!

I'm writing this post on behalf of Vivien, who was our former 06 VJ Swim Team Secretary.

She needs volunteers for the event in which she is organizing, SPIRITUS2008.

Here's an excerpt of what the event is about -

Team Spiritus, supported by Citibank-YMCA Youth for Causes 2008, is organizing Spiritus 2008, a charity event aimed at raising funds for Very Special Arts (Singapore).

Spiritus2008 is recruiting volunteers to help with the fundraising. A pair of volunteers will carry a sandwich board and a donation box around public spaces. They will approach members of the public to write a short note of encouragement to show their support for the children and youth at Very Special Arts. In addition, $2 will be collected for each message written. Once the boards are filled, they will be displayed at the Very Special Arts office and classroom areas.

This project will be taking place every Sunday between 2 to 6 pm. Volunteers are able to select which Sundays are most suitable for them and they need not come down every single Sunday. Community Involvement Programme (CIP) hours will be attributed to all participants of this project and a certificate indicating how many hours they have contributed to this cause will be awarded at the end of the project.

All funds generated from the donations will be donated to Very Special Arts (Singapore) – a Voluntary Welfare Organisation that provides disabled people with opportunities to access the arts for rehabilitation and social integration. Spiritus 2008 is also aimed at spreading public awareness for Very Special Arts (Singapore).

Your school’s support will go a long way in aiding Very Special Arts (Singapore) and its beneficiaries. We kindly request that you:

a. Relay information on Spiritus2008 to your Community Involvement Club, and the enclosed signup sheets for students to sign up

b. Grant permission for the display of Spiritus2008 posters in your school premises.

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Lydia Lim at 91515497 or Ms Vivien Shiao at 90068376 or email us at spiritus2008@gmail.com.

We can take part in this as a team if you guys are really interested and committed :D
