About CIP
i think anyone in 4 A will know this person call Bernedect. i am not so sure how her name spell, so ... i shall just use Bernedect. For the benefit of those not in 4A, i shall describe abit about her.
She is working in this family thrift store of the salvation army in potong pasir. we 4 A ppl have being doing CIP there every sat. may be you all can ask someone else in my class about her cause i just cant describe. in any case, we dont like her at all.she is very unreasonable and always give others the feeling that she is the big boss. whats the most irritating thing about her that i want to talk about, is how she treat CIP like a business.
CIP, in my mind, is programme that tries to give students the chance to help the community with a heart of compassion. whats happening nowadays is, however, that ppl feel as if they are FORCED to do CIP. They need the CIP hours so as to get the bonus mark in O level, and Bernect bring that message across perfectly. she set these very stupid rules. that they only give ppl hours if they do more then 3 hours. its really as if, we are there to earn money, not to do some volunteer work because we want to help the community. Isnt this what we want to develop. volunteer work is voluntary. they should be glad that we are there to help out. but now its like the other way round, that they are helping US! i really dont see how a charity foundation can work like that. chartiy should not be one that we work so as to gain profit from. that is NOT charity work... sorry.. no offence to salvation army directly... there are of course some other adult VOLUNTEERS working with us that are really there to help out. they come with a heart to contribute. hai.... i just dont understand why many ppl think that ppl working in adminitration in a charity foundation must earn a large sum of money. i know one that dont. they may not be as popular as salvation army, but they definitely work better then them because EVERYONE in there is volunteers. I think its really because of people like HER that makes younsters hate CIP work.

Indeed CIP is about VOLUNTEER work and CIP should be done from deep within our hearts. It should be something that we are willing to do and not forced to do.
However, this CIP is to encourage Singapore youths to do VOLUNTEER work, so we can't blame whoever who FORCE us to do it lah =)
