Updates!

First up, for the Recyclables Community Service, we've collected approximately 330KG of newspapers!

Plus, there were only 14 of us so if we divide the total weight of the newspapers evenly, each of us would have brought 23.5KG of newspapers. Imagine if we had 30 of us? :)

Nonetheless, we'll be progressing to the next stage approaching to the TTDI residence. Do start to pile up your papers at home to add on to the total weight (which means let your parents be informed about our activities!)

We want to make an impact to our neighbouring community, so do pray that God would honour that very desire of TTDIGC Youth. Comparing to the small Thessalonian Church during Apostle Paul's time, they made an impact of their faith so strong, it reached as far as 250 miles away!

1 Thessalonians 1:7-8

"And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere.."

Let us strive to put God's name on high!

Next,

1.) Daryl Heng
2.) Gary Heng
3.) Alex Tan
4.) Xin-Yi
5.) Jo-Yi

We'll be having a fixed "2 posts a week" by this list of contributors but we'll also be posting up updates (such as IBA Unplugged, Recyclables Community Service, etc.) in between the posts. So do check back here often to keep yourselves updated!

That's it for now, do look forward for the upcoming posts this week!

God bless,

Introduction to Recyclables Community Service!

After taking in your feedback and suggestions, on this coming Saturday’s YTM, we’re having an Introduction of

PIC (people in charge):
1. Gregory Ho
2. Xin-Yi
3. Alex Tan
4. Ian Fan

Objectives & Goals
• To raise awareness in the communities of the TTDI, relating the core problems which led to the need for running such a social organisation in the first place.
• To help our affiliated shelter home by gathering the money collected from the recycle and channelling it to them.



• To understand the importance of recycling and how much of an impact it could make to the world if we do our part.

What to do?
Please ask your immediate neighbours, classmates or even friends for their old newspaper (Please do bring your home’s newspaper also)

What to wear?
Do wear sporty outfit as we’re gonna sweat it out with all that carrying of loads and loads of newspaper!

Please come and participate!
Over time, depending on the feedback/response/money generated, we shall expand our collection channels to circling around the neighbourhoods of TTDI in proper stages namely, Athinapan, Zaaba, Datuk Sulaiman, Abang Haji Openg, Amminudin Baki and Rahim Kajai respectively,but to be scaled according to the capacity of our youth labour force.

FAQs

1. I don’t have transport!
Please contact the PIC above and they will arrange the tranportation for you =)

2. I can’t find anyone who is willing to give their newspaper and my home don’t have much old newspaper also.
It’s okay, we will always need the extra hands in any ways possible so don’t feel discouraged if you think you are not contributing by not getting any old newspaper.

3. My parents disapprove because they lack understanding of the activity and I’m not sure how to explain it to them.
Do contact Uncle Lay Seng, Uncle Vincent or Uncle Chee Kong and they will contact your parents regarding their insecurities with the activity. If you don’t have their numbers, contact Alex or Gregory for it.

4. I don’t feel like going .. How?
We can’t force you to come but let us encourage you that serving others can be real joy! After all as Christians we are told by Mark in God’s Word, Mark 10:45 :

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

And we are to follow Him as He is an example to all of us on what it means to live life on this sinful world!

God bless and see you this Saturday!
