Organisation: Youth Advolution for Health (YAH) Health Promotion Board
Target: Tertiary Students
Period: April to July 2009
After our visit to the PCC (Patient Care Centre) in March 2009, the Youth Community Outreach Department from the Health Promotion Board invited RBKD to carry out a Youth Health Project with the YAH.
After a meeting with the department from the HPB, the committee decided to collaborate with one of the Polytechnics in Singapore for this AIDS awareness project.
While we received praises for our efforts from our corresponding lecturers in Nanyang Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic, we soon began to realise how our ideas clashed with on-going programs in the institutions.
Not wanting to disrupt their activities, we dropped the idea of having our own project and assumed the role of participants ourselves.
Maybe there might be other opportunities next time round.
