Upcoming Activities

Hello! I know some of you are asking for Joule Club activities. For now till the end of the year, we are busy preparing for Footprints Expedition 2009, where we will be going Cambodia for a community service trip from 15-24th Dec. We are busy doing fundraising at the same time by selling 2009 Desk Calendars! U can help us by purchasing them, at $10 each!

With Footprints Project every year, we believe strongly that;

“Life is not about where we go, but about the footprints we leave behind in others’ lives.”

This is the Footprints video done by William, one of our volunteers. Have a look!

Next year promises to be more exciting! New stuff include adventure camps, local community projects with low-income families, mentoring trainings, and our very own Joule Club publication! Most likely we will publish our very own newletter just for You! Are you excited? :)

For those taking O's, all the best! Remember to have enough rest!
