This year 2024, our school has decided to continue partner with “Food from the Heart” organisation. We wish our children to be Creative, Confident and with Character. Hence, we want them to be as prepared as they can be to take care of themselves and others. With a little knowledge, preparation, and forethought, we will teach them about the necessity of food while also teaching them how to aid those in need. The children will understand the various sorts of food that can be donated, as well as how the food they donate will benefit others who will receive it.
We had our Launch Party where we introduced the theme of SSDB as well as the organisation we were working with this year. The children had an understanding of what they were going to learn and participate in this year SSDB.
We invited the partners to conduct a sharing session with the children and parents in the school. Through this sharing session, the children and the parents will know how to ‘donate right’ and develop empathy towards families with diverse background.
Our children did a poster with the teacher on what can we donate. They bring along their poster to the supermarket and purchase with their parents.
Our children also did some warming card and put together with the food. Organisation helped us to distribute the card and the food together to those who in need.
At the end of the SSDB project, children did a small reflection. Most of the children reflected that they enjoyed the process of the project and would donate again and were happy to be able to help to community. Parents also feedback that their child are so proud to purchase the food when in the supermarket because can help those who in need.
