Does anyone know of volunteer opportunities or have links to sites? No preference on what type really.

Cheers!

Looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity?
Fundraising efforts from volunteers in Singapore contribute significantly to Tabitha's ability to help the poorest Cambodian families break out of poverty. We raise funds for digging water wells as well as build houses for families that have never had the protection of a decent shelter.

The sale of Tabitha cottage industry goods in Singapore raises significant revenue, and enables more and more Cambodians to be employed as seamstresses, silversmiths, and weavers. These goods are managed and sold entirely by a dedicated group of volunteers. This is important work and we need your help. In 2005, Singapore raised more than 15% of Tabitha-Cambodia’s total budget.

Interested in volunteering?
No matter your background, experience, or availability, we can offer many rewarding ways to be involved. For those interested in volunteering please contact us at [email protected]

I do three mornings a week at the RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association)

I love horses and children and find it very rewarding. You do not have to have any horse experience to be a side walker. You can get more info from the website if you are interested

Hi,

If you're interested in art, history, and learning more about asian culture, you could take the docent training course to be a volunteer guide in one of the museums here. Some courses are more intensive than others, depending on which museum you choose. If you're interested PM me and I will provide further details.

mmm, where to start. The easiest way is for a web search. "volunteer opportunities in Singapore" turned up the useful link of the Volunteer and Philanthropy site http://www.nvpc.org.sg
Check out The Kind Exchange http://www.thekindexchange.com. They try to match volunteers with opportunities on specific skills (generally short term commitments)
I teach basic computing and financial education to migrant workers with aidha http://www.aidha.org

There is a lot of need in Singapore - so glad to see that you're looking to help.

Also for anyone who might be interested in helping children ranging from Primary 1 to Secondary 4 with their studies, you may send me a PM here and I'll sign you in. However, you must be dedicated enough to sacrifice 2 hours of your Saturday afternoons to teach there. No tuition during holidays fortunately. =) Sunlove is located in Bedok.

If this isn't your thing though, you may visit www.sgcares.com as they have a variety of volunteer opportunities there to choose from.

=)

My personal opinion: I shy away from those organisations that are heavily funded, as I believe they have more than what they need

I contribute my time to the Handicaps Association, Spastic Childrens Association, Muscular Dystrophy Association, occasionally, YMCA, and, if and when time permits, TWC2 and some organisation taking care of the workers ..

My priority is, who calls me first, gets my time, no juggling, and no broken promises, and it is not wrong to say "NO" when somebody asks for help, and that's one of the main lessons I impart to new volunteers ..
