Chapter 3 : Garnering preliminary input

Nisa, Deputy Superintendent of MWH has been working closely with me, to meet key individuals for ideas and suggestions on the book project. We appreciate the primary contribution by these individuals:

3 Oct 08 - Saripah, Senior Teacher Raffles Institution
7 Oct 08 - Sumarni, Section Head Temasek Polytechnic
10 Oct 08 - Shaik Mohd Iqbal, Producer / Editor Mediacorp
23 Oct 08 - Helmy, Head of Youth Engagement Startegic Unit MUIS
4 Nov 08 - Azmi, Head of Project (Community in Bloom) NParks
5 Nov 08 - Shahada, Librarian National Library Board

The first informal volunteers' gathering held on 24 Oct 08 was critical in deciding the direction and focus of project. It was interactive and attendees brainstormed for almost 3hours, eventually concluded with a fresh idea and concept of the book. Those present:
1.Shaik Mohd Iqbal
2.Tabrani
3.Hamzah
4.Juniper
5.Khairuddin
6.Ismail
7.Elaine
8.Sopiawati
9.Nisa (Thank you for arranging food & drinks)
10.Mardiana
11.Noraini
12.Ruhainah (Thank you for setting-up the meeting room)
13.Aishah
14.Foziah and
15.myself

I will keep in touch with the other volunteers who were unable to join us that day. Hope that they can be with us in future meetings.

Azeem has left Singapore for further studies in Nov 08 and thereafter work in UK for several years. Do continue to support our cause. We pray for your success.
