The group also participated in art jamming activities, creating acrylic keychains together.

Carnival games galore!
About 70 participants, including families from ComLink+ @ Jurong West and UOL volunteers and their families, delighted in a host of carnival games at the Singapore Expo, including exciting sports such as basketball and hockey, bouncy castles, as well as art and craft workshops. In support of the National Family Festival (NFF) initiative by the Ministry of Social and Family Development aimed at building strong and resilient families, for the first time, UOL invited the families of its employees to come along to engage the beneficiaries at the NFF carnival event.
Spreading cheer to children with gifts
More than 120 children from Care Corner Student Centres and ComLink had their wishes granted with presents sponsored by shoppers, UOL employees and the Company. The children’s eyes sparkled with joy when they received the presents.
