CIP :)

Singapore Kindness Month 2009

One of the highlights of the programme is a series of Flash Mob activities. The aim of these flash mob activities is to remind Singaporeans that they can engage in simple acts of kindness everyday.

Heartware will be collaborating with SKM to engage a group of 300 volunteers to participate in the flash mob activities held over 4 Saturdays in April.

WHAT WILL VOLUNTEERS DO?
Volunteers will be part of the flash mob activities, which will take place at different locations each week. These acts will catch members of public by surprise at familiar locations such as hawker centres, fast food restaurants, shopping centres, buses, MRT trains and train stations. The 300 volunteers will be led by leaders to perform and accomplish the acts of kindness.

Some of the actions volunteers will be performing include:
1. Saying “Hello” and greeting passers-by
2. Giving up seats to other passengers
3. Encouraging people to keep to the left on escalators
4. Encouraging passengers (on bus or MRT) to move in
Volunteers are also invited to the official launch at IMM on 4th April after 6pm.
