VolunTeaming For A Good Cause
In July 2010, our Internal Audit (IA) department coordinated a two-month
book donation drive for APSN Tanglin School, an STLF beneficiary that
provides special education for children with mild intellectual disabilities.
Our IA colleagues sorted, delivered and presented more than 3,000 books to
the school on the day it celebrated Teachers' Day. These books significantly
increased the central school library's collection. School principal Mrs Liza Ow
shared that they planned to set up class libraries to give students convenient
access to the books and encourage reading.
"It feels good that we can help these children and contribute to their intellectual needs. I'm glad that
I am part of this meaningful event."

| Two weeks before the school year ended, our colleagues from Procurement
& Supply Chain Management spent two mornings at the school to make
bookshelves to house these additional books. Working with the students
and teachers, they built bookshelves and decorated the library corners of
12 classrooms out of recycled materials. |

| Such VolunTeaming projects allow our people to experience the satisfaction
of making a difference in the lives of the disadvantaged while giving them
the opportunity to bond in meaningful ways. |
