Dear visitor,

Thank you very much
I'm blogging from work :)
Dear visitor,
3 more days…
The following message was sent to the final year students in SCE, but is opened to Alumni to be involved.
Roll up your sleeves.
(how to roll up your sleeves?)
To the Students,
I’m writing this open email to you because we have a Community Service project, and we are gauging whether we will have enough support for it.
The Call
Now, don’t get turn off by the word “Community Service or Community Work”. J Community Work, is about changing the Status Quo in our Community. Saying that enough is enough, and changes has to be made. Having a community minded is a Mindset change. It simply means.. Recognizing that there are other people out there beside myself! There is a bigger world out there beside our 8 to 5, exams and studies.. Recognize that I can do something, big or small. I can help change situations, make a difference! J
Project
A Student Services Center in the West has contacted me, enquiring whether we can help to organize Christmas Party for Primary 1 – Primary 5 students on 23 Dec.
Some of these students comes from dysfunctional family. I am only looking for 30 volunteers, to go with me. Can you be part of this J ?
Transportation and Lunch will be provided.
So, if you are keen to make a change in the community, please VOTE J by 13 Dec.Leave your name on HERE if you are keen to be part of Community Service in the future.
Thank you!

What am i doing in the office?
I’m thrill to say that, following yesterday Manifesto post, a few of you have written back to indicate your support and interest in building the SCE Community.
For a start, to give you an idea of the general direction we are heading, perhaps I am going to categories the types of Alumni activities that will be organized into Social, Technology and Community Involvement.
Social Events
For Social events, it will include Dinners, Movies Outing, Functions, Wine Appreciations, and Reunions. Social events not only is about chill-and-relax, it will be give excellent opportunity for you to network with one another, to enlarge your social circle, to get to know other people.
Technology Events
Technology events will include Talks, Seminars and Discussions revolving around IT, Computer Engineering, Social Media. I am hoping that I can invite someone from Google to give a talk about Google Wave, or Android Platform next year. I believe having such events will be helpful in your work; upgrading, and being in touch with latest technologies.
Why can't we start something like Ted.com?
Community Involvement
Lastly, Community Involvement events are about enlarging our vision, as a whole, on how we can give back to the society, and impacting lives around us.We will start by visiting homes. In the future, I hope we will have enough support from Alumni to commit long term community service such as sponsoring IT training to Homes, Awesome software inventions, Impact training to 3rd World countries. etc.
Actions Needed
So, I am looking for volunteers in either category to form small committee to help collate ideas, and organize the activities. Don’t worry, I will be here to do the main bulk of logistic and liaising work, but I need the alumni support to initiate, and suggest to me what you want to do.
The categories are not complete, but I think it will be a good start. Please get involved, leave a comment belong or discuss it in the forum.
Thanks!
Moses
