Project Step To Change

When both projects ended in August, the amount of $2,374.53 raised would be matched dollar-to-dollar by the Holland Village Methodist Church, totalling $4,749.06. This would subsequently be topped up another dollar-to-dollar by the Government’s Community Silver Trust as well as by a private Trust. The fund raised is crucial in creating a better and more humane living environment for the MWS Bethany Nursing Home residents, which will definitely make a great difference in their lives. We wrapped up the project Step To Change with a visit to the home. The ACS Challenge provides students with the chance to showcase their talents and challenge other students on whether they can do the challenge or even level it up. The most popular challenges went to Chau Nguyen Khanh Giao (5 CKS) and Wu Yanyu (5 SVM). Nguyen Khanh Giao challenged ACS students on whether they could read a book for 3 hours straight. Yanyu, on the other hand, challenged students to the T-rex dinosaur game on whether they could achieve a score of 1,500 points. To participate in each challenge, students had to at least contribute $20 from sponsors or themselves; this was really a challenge. Lyu Jiaying (5 LSG) raised the most funds and was rewarded with a prize and certificate. Overall, although the ACS Challenge was a new event curated by the Ambassadors team, we hope to see more participants joining this event if there’s another run next year. Congratulations to Nguyen Khanh Giao, Yanyu and Jiaying who each received the 2020 ACS Challenge Award.
