Few events are as heart-warming as the one the Expatgiving team attended on December 5th to celebrate the International Volunteer Day. Flawlessly organised by the Singapore Red Cross, we enjoyed an evening of good food, great entertainment and spectacular designs! However, the highlight of the party were the joyful faces of the residents of the Red Cross Home for the Disabled.
Inspired through the befriending process and adaptation, a group of volunteers translated the work of the residents (drawing & handicraft) to actual piece production through fabric pattern-laying, traditional sewing and digital print. The result? A Runway show that took place at the Star Performing Art Centre (Star Vista shopping mall) in which the audience was able to admire and understand the story behind each of the designs.
What a wonderful way to celebrate International Volunteer Day! We are looking forward to the next event…in the meantime here are some shots of the evening (courtesy of volunteer photographer Oliver Helm).
Enjoy!
