MARCHallers (SVC Event)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"CSS<\/p>\n

A half day event in collaboration with Science Volunteers\u2019 Corps to spark primary school children\u2019s interest in science.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Sciences Society (LSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The LSS Project DNA department seeks to promote volunteerism in the Life Sciences whilst building community and forging bonds between participants. With multiple projects a year, Project DNA works closely with grassroots and charity organisations to benefit the larger society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Riding for the Disabled<\/span><\/p>\n

\"LSS<\/p>\n

Project DNA engaged in a unique equine volunteering experience with Riding with the Disabled Association (RDA). The RDA is a charity organisation that provides free riding therapy sessions for both mentally and\/or physically disabled beneficiaries. Project DNA members participated in stable maintenance activities such as de-linting the horses\u2019 saddle blanket, ploughing the soil at the horse-riding arena as well as assisted in administration work. These actions assisted RDA\u2019s regular horse-riding therapy sessions for the disabled. Despite the physical work under the sweltering weather, it was a fulfilling and memorable experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Science Club<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Project Angel<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These service-learning projects aid in the personal development of participants through experiential learning, and ultimately creating social citizenship in each participant. In 2018, the PA committee worked with Thai Youth Community Foundation in aiding the rural communities in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Young children in this region lack access to clean drinking water in schools. The PA committee helped to improve the access to clean drinking water in these schools through the installation of water filtration systems.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
