1. Chairman’s
Message
In our commitment to uphold our mission towards helping the less fortunate, I
am pleased to say that Loving Heart Multi-Service Centre (Jurong Central) has
done well for the past year.
The year under review was an exceptionally good year for us, achieving great
results in both our programmes and fundraising activities. We were able to do
more for our programmes with the substantial funds raised.
Our core programme: Sport, Tuition, and Mentoring Programme was furthered
improved and re-structured into an enhanced 3 years S.T.R.I.V.E programme.
The new programme was launched at two piloting schools: Jurong Primary
School and Jurong Secondary School. The current S.T.A.M.P programmes at the
10 schools will be converted to S.T.R.I.V.E programme progressively over the
next few years.
The other core programme; Pupil Breakfast Scheme, continues to grow and now
serves 25 schools. South West Community Development Council has also
recognized the value of this programme. They have appointed our organization as
their partner in the Free Breakfast Programme for all the 19 schools within
Jurong GRC.
The Free TCM Clinic had its official opening on 25th April 2011. On this
occasion, NTUC vouchers were given to 100 elderlies. In addition, a free
vegetarian buffet was also served to the guests and needy residents.
With the unfailing support from our generous donors, we managed to raise
beyond the projected budget from our fund-raising activities. Our annual Gala
Charity Dinner 2011 hit a record high since it first started in 2008. The fund-
raising Committee chaired by Dr Derek Goh Bak Heng, BBM and Mr Seah Hock
Thiam, ensured once again another successful result. We are very appreciative to
all generous donors and staff in managing this key fund-raising activity.
4 | P a g e
Once more our avid supporters, the Civic Organizers, assisted in rallying the
support of their guests for our bid item during their civic dinners. The total
amount fund raised exceeded the previous years.
I want to re-iterate our most sincere appreciation to Mr Lim Boon Heng, our
Founding Adviser. Although he had retired from politics, he will continue as our
Founding Adviser. Our Organization today, is the result of the unceasing support,
care and concern of Mr Lim Boon Heng.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Deputy Prime Minister Tharman
Shanmugaratnam, Minister for Finance and Manpower as our Special Adviser;
and the newly elected Members of Parliament, Mr Ang Wei Neng and Mr
Desmond Lee Ti-Seng as our Advisers.
I express my appreciation to the Members of Management Committee, our
Partner, Trustees, Patrons, other Advisers, donors and our many volunteers who
have helped to make possible the work that we do.
As we move forward, we must always remember that our prime objectives are to
service the less privileged students and extend our helping hands to the
community within Jurong GRC. We will continue to improve on what we have
been doing and taking new initiatives to remain relevant.

4 Improving Lives
Nutritional experts have referred to breakfast as the most important meal of the day. It is essential for a good start of the day. Since 2006, Loving Heart Multi-Service Centre (Jurong Central) has been raising fund to provide free breakfast to primary and secondary students in Jurong GRC under Pupil Breakfast Scheme [PBS]. OBJECTIVE
It serves as the financial support to meet the needs of needy students while complementing assistance provided by the Ministry of Education Financial Assistance Scheme (MOE-FAS) and Straits Times Pocket Money. Each student will receive a breakfast voucher of $1.00 for primary level and $1.50 for secondary level to buy food from the school canteen for 150 school days.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Loving Heart has engaged professional trainers from Boys’ Town to conduct a Workforce Development Agency [WDA] certified course for volunteer mentors on how to mentor to youths effectively and efficiently.
Mentors are taught how to understand and communicate with youths as well as basic counseling skills through lectures and role playing to provide a more hands -on experience.

Boys’ Town’s expertise was enlisted to formulate the Tuition and Mentoring Components for the 3 years programme. The Sports component has also be extended to include more skill-based training.
SPORT: A more extensive lesson plan has been designed and implemented by the coaches who focus more on teaching children the skills and techniques of the sport. Currently the 2 ongoing sports in Jurong Primary School and Jurong Secondary School are soccer and cycling respectively.
TUITION: The Enhanced Learning Programme [ELP] will be incorporated in the S.T.R.I.V.E syllabus. This programme formulated by Boys’ Town will teach individuals how to develop their own style of learning, apart from gaining important study skills. Selected tutors have been sent for training with Boys’ Town so that they will be able to effectively implement the ELP into their tuition sessions.
MENTORING: The first year mentoring topics will remain unchanged as that of the S.T.A.M.P programme. However, there will be an added mentoring curriculum of 20 sessions for the second year. The third year mentoring curriculum will have a “contributing back to society” element, where the S.T.R.I.V.E students will be involved in various community work and activities.
Other fun and team building events like adventure camping and outward bound activities will also be organized for them.
