We are a team of students from Anglo-Chinese Junior College, Hwa Chong Institution (College Section), Nanyang Girls' High School, National Junior College, Raffles Institution (Junior College), Raffles Institution (Secondary), River Valley High School and Victoria Junior College. Our project, entitled Accendo, is Greek for “illuminate” and is in aid of the Student Advisory Centre (SAC) which provides a myriad of services and programmes for underprivileged youth and children.

The Lunch Box Fund is the Centre’s cash gift to primary and secondary school students from poor and needy families, which sponsors the children for an entire academic year. With this, the Centre intends to contribute S$143,000 to the community in year 2009, to approximately 500 deserving students. The Centre hopes to empower youths from disadvantaged family backgrounds such that they may gain self-dependency.

Accendo '09 aims to:

I Raise $50,000 for the SAC

II Promote awareness of the SAC, and in particular, the beneficiaries of the Lunch Box Fund, to at least 200,000 students and members of the public

III Inspire other youths to rise up to the challenge and aid the community

To aid the SAC in its fund raising efforts, Accendo will be conducting 19 streets sales sessions to raise funds for our cause. In short, we’ll be holding a series of street sales and would like to enlist your help as volunteers! Details regarding the dates and timings of the sales are as follows:

Volunteers will assemble at Atrium@Orchard, Thereafter, they will be dispatched to different locations to begin street sales and return to the meeting point by the end of their shift.
