Compassion In Community CIC 心连心

Compassion In Community CIC 心连心 Compassion In Community (CIC) aims to:
1. serve as a platform for people to serve the poor
2. ignite a spirit of purposeful volunteerism in Singapore

The community service interest group was started by a group of youths in their 20s in April 2012 who were touched by the needs of the poor, many of whom are living in one and two room rental flats in Singapore. We do not have to go too far to help the poor. It can start from home. Serving with Passion and Compassion.

As we enter into 2017, I will like to share the moments from our most recent event which happened in early Dec (better late than never!) This block party sums up the Megalifers' journey of befriending the elderly in Year 2016, with a handful of them who had started doing so since last year (as part of their church's initiative called "Lovewalk" to encourage the youths to walk the talk, literally speaking). Elderly befriending was something foreign to most, if not all, just like how it was for many in the CIC community, including myself. I thought there's no better way to sum up this "Lovewalk" by challenging them to organise something for the elderly. Among those who volunteered to join the committee, the youngest was sec. 2. I feel very proud of this group of youths who have completed the challenge well. Just look at the smiles on the elderly's faces :)

Last Sunday, friends of CIC brought our elderly friends for lunch at The Ramen Stall. We hope that through Happy Neighbour Lunch, the elderly will have a chance to make more friends, deepen existing friendships and have a fun dining experience. This event was inspired by a casual conversation between two friends and finally came into fruition by the combined effort of many other friends of CIC. Indeed, this event was made possible by friendship, for friendship. Thank you The Ramen Stall for hosting us and Chef Mel Dean for joining us.
