Hi everybody! I hope your Chinese New Year was well spent with your loved ones eating good food and collecting angbaos! As promised, we're back with another post about a CIP conducted just before CNY with the kids from LCSS.
For this CIP, we decided to teach the kids to make some simple CNY decorations such as angbao fishes, fire crackers, and lanterns to expose them to some Chinese culture as many of them are not Chinese.
We were delighted to have our ex president, Christine join us for this CIP session with the kids!

After the Arts and Crafts session was done, we told the children some stories about what we'd do during CNY, and also interacted with them and got to know them better. This session was certainly meaningful and we hope it allowed the kids to have fun and also get to know a new culture better!
Group shot with the decorations made! |
To end off, we hope you guys enjoyed your CNY this year (rushing projects and presentations), and good luck for the upcoming exams! We'll be back with another update soon!
With love,
DPCS Publicity team
