WHAT'S
ON THIS WEEK?! Nature activities and events happening this week 30 Aug-5 Sep 2004 30 and 31 Aug (Mon, Tue): Wayang performances at Ubin Traditionally, as part of the celebrations of Hungry Ghost Month, wayang performances are held at the Ubin wayang stage. This is NOT a special performance put up for the public, but a part of the way of life of the residents of Ubin. Here is a chance to take part in a dying tradition. Take a bumboat there and enjoy what may be the last of these performances. Here's a little posting I did on the NDP moblog about the performances. More on Ubin and how to get there. 3-4 Sep (Fri-Sat): Families as Volunteers Experience (FaVE) Camp '04 Organised by National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) in support of President’s Challenge, the camp offers a variety of activities for parents and children to volunteer as a family, or with a family member. Help bring smiles to people who deserve our care and support by actively participating in fun projects in the social service, arts, sports, environment, heritage and more.
