Assalamu'alaikum, y'all :)

I would like to invite you (yes, yes, you - my TP seniors and juniors, friends and acquantainces from the different polys, NUS/NTU, etc) to this humble BTF event of ours. If you're free this Sunday, do come down to Kg Chai Chee, aite! But don't forget to rsvp first, so the organisers tak terkejut. hehe.

If you would like to know more details, please feel free to contact the organisers via the hp no. given below, or any of the NI alumni whom you personally know.

Thank you.

Assalamualaikum wr.wb.

Befriending the Folks (BTF) have been a signature event conducted by Nur Ikhwan annually for the residents of Kg. Chai Chee every Ramadan. This year marks the fifth year since BTF humbly started. This year also makes a change to the usual concept of the project which typically constitutes of cleaning the residents' homes & mass iftar under their block.

Titled "Seri Ramadhan", this fifth episode of BTF wants to create a special experience for the aged residents of Kg. Chai Chee. No more cleaning, no more iftar-ing under the block.. Instead they will get to:

DRESS . CAMERA . IFTAR

Sunday, 13 September 2009
3.00 pm - 8.30 pm

Kg. Chai Chee Senior Citizens Activity Centre

(Ping-An Gardens, along Chai Chee Road, Bedok)

We are inviting participants and teams to join us in an opportunity to give a special experience to the less advantaged!

Dress: In Dress, participants will go in teams of 2 or 3 to the residents' house and distribute "new" Hari Raya clothes that have been matched with their size and preferred colors. They will then also help to dress up these residents to look good, and feel good!

Camera: In Camera, the teams after dressing up their resident, will help to record a Hari Raya message from the resident & his/her advice for the younger ones/ future generation. This short recording of a video message will last only 5 minutes. The recorded video will then be produced by the organisers and given as a video montage to the residents in Hari Raya visit in Shawal. Residents can then keep it for their own for keepsakes or give it to their grandchildren in passing down their old-age wisdom to the younger generation. Participants may or may not choose to join in this follow-up event - it's optional :)

Iftar: In Iftar, we want to bring the aged residents out to dine in a restaurant-like setting. A dinner under the night sky, participants will go together with the residents to a restaurant in Arab Street area and break fast together. Don't fret, we've chartered a bus for you already and you pay $ZERO :)

If you want your Ramadhan weekend to be a fruitful one, join us this Sunday 13 September for Seri Ramadhan. We can tell you, from four years we've been doing this, that it will prove to be a rewarding experience.

There are only a limited no. of participants we can accept due to reservation constraints, plus we want this to be a warm volunteering experience for you.

So Shout out to us if you're interested to make these residents happy! Simply:

SMS to 8264 8030 your name, e-mail address, and incld. the text "Seri Ramadhan".

We will then contact you and respond to your interest accordingly.

Looking forward to embrace your good souls,

Project Seri Ramadhan

an evolution of BTF 5.
