Bone Marrow Donor Program Talk - 28 Feb 07
To: All Non-Chinese
In collaboration with the Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP), our school is embarking on a community service project, together with some students from SMU to help BMDP recruit potential donors from minority groups (Malays and Indians) and to raise awareness about the work of BMDP. This will increase the chances of finding a compatible donor for patients from minority groups who are in need of a bone marrow transplant.
Due to a lack of donors from minority ethnic groups in the local Bone Marrow Donor Registry, our focus is to help BMDP increase their donors’ pool in this area. BMDP has only 400,000 donors in Singapore with Malays and Indians each contributing to about 4% of the total figure. One common illness that requires a bone marrow transplant is Leukemia. The chance of finding a matching bone marrow within the same ethnic group is 1 out of 20,000, whereas it is an almost 0% chance of finding a match from a different ethnic group.
We aim to spread this awareness with a series of Donor Awareness and Recruitment Drive on 28 Feb 2007. Attendance will be taken. Booths will be setup at the road shows with stations mended by nurses to retrieve blood samples from potential donors on the same day. It is a prick on the finger requiring minimal blood.
Venue: AVA Projection Room
Time: 1 to 1.45pm (pls be punctual)

Interclass Games
Would anyone be interested if I were to arrange an interclass competition on say...table tennis? since you guys seem so keen in it? To kick off, we can arrange teams to play against KA? Purpose - just for fun, just to see which class is better at what sports. Once the winning team has been identified, we will set up another round with another class till we find the ultimate champions...the answer seems clear though..our class should stand a good chance since so many of you play like professionals, huh?
Overseas Trip 2007
I am considering a 3-4 days overseas trip in your semester 3 or 4. Purpose - can be anything from doing charity work to nuturing the entrepueneur spirit in you. Cost - Student is expected to pay at least 1/3 of the total cost. Of course, we can do fund raising to reduce your financial burden if need to. Destination - you decide. So give a thought to it, I am open to any ideas...
