Heartwarmers' purpose and work.

There are over 1000 pictures, and whenever I look at the pictures, memories came flooding back and I don't know where to start the ball rolling. I'll try my best to start without getting emotional, and I shall start with our purpose being there.


Our YEP (Youth Expedition Project) team is called the Heartwarmers. I personally thought it was a rather suitable name for the things that we do there.



Our team is split into 4 teams; the Health Sciences Team, the IT team, the Infrastructure Team and the Project Management team.


The Health Sciences Team - Teaches Malaria Prevention, AIDS Prevention, Toothbrushing etc.

The IT Team - Teaches Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Word etc.

The Infrastructure Team - Designs and paints signboard and wall.

The Project Management Team - Oversees the whole process and ensures everything goes smoothly.

Our voluntary work is done in the BBLC (Boys Brigade Learning Centre) and the Foursquare Children of Promise Orphanage.



It's nice to know that the learning centre and the orphanage is being driven by the faith of Christianity.

Our sub-teams' objectives were met and I believe we did really well in general, although most of the stuff were pretty impromptu.


The YEP team's purpose and work mainly revolves around the BBLC and the orphanage. Most of our time were spent with the two venues and the children. It was a time whereby the YEP team bonded with the children, interacting and having fun together.

It was a relationship that didn't wither, but became stronger.
