X'mas Shopping Trip!

Christmas is a season of sharing and joy!

As part of our programme to let the residents experience the spirit of sharing, we let the residents to purchase X'mas gifts for their fellow friends in the hostel.

Hmm.. Which one to choose?


And we should not forget the needy even in the season of X'mas

Phew, finally, we arrived at the Shaw House where the residents are waiting eagerly for the movie screening




And off we go!


What are we watching? Hmm... Planet 51! Well, actually I don't know what the story is about. Haha.
