Big Brother Big Sister Project (B3S): Bake with Love 2019

Event Details:

Date:               Friday, December 20, 2019

Time:              2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Venue:            Chantilly Culinary Studio

“No matter how apparently smart or confident, each child is still a child first and foremost, with all the anxieties that go with being young, vulnerable, and inexperienced in life.”

Parents of today undertake more efforts in shaping the way their children develop based on the deposits of experiences that they chisel out for them from young. However, when socio-economic factors come into play, some parents find themselves bounded by a stratum that limits the experiences they can present their children with, which in turn might impinge on their developmental wellbeing.

Through our annual Big Brother Big Sister Project (B3S), we aim to reduce such disparities by providing a platform for children from various socio-economic groups to interact and bond through tailor made activities.

As part of the B3S Initiative for the year 2019, NuLife will be working in collaboration with YTK Management Consultants Pte Ltd to organise a baking event on 20^th December 2019 with selected NuLife beneficiaries. These beneficiaries would comprise of children within the age range of 9 years old to 14 years old who would be given the opportunity to participate in a fun-filled baking session under the guidance of a professional baker. The beneficiaries would be accompanied alongside with the staff of YTK Management Consultants Pte Ltd who will be volunteering their time and efforts by actively participating and interacting with the children during the event.

To ensure a broad mix of beneficiaries, NuLife will be reaching out to kids of our Clients, our Volunteers, our Staff and our Service Providers and our Board. This would grant the beneficiaries from various socio-economic demographics the opportunity to explore each other’s worlds and forge meaningful friendships.

While preparations for the much-awaited event are underway, we look forward to enriching the experience of the selected beneficiaries as they explore the ways they can gift their loved ones for the festive season through the art of baking. We also hope that the staff of YTK Management Consultants Pte Ltd are able to have a fulfilling experience as they contribute back to the community through this particular act of goodwill.

Every Child Matters.
